Abstract

The aim of this work was to monitory and control of the immature mosquitoes around Dona Francisca Hydroelectric (DFH), Agudo, RS. There was a great concern to avoid the introducing of human diseases vectors in this place. Six areas were selected for sampling larva: The hotel swimming pool, the clubhouse near Jacui river, the station of water treatment, the administration square, workers lodgings and tyre fixing places. The collections were taken at three months intervals, during the building period of DFH (June/2000 to February/2001). Lectures were provided for about three thousand people in schools near DFH. No important epidemic species was found, only Aedes fluviatilis and other species of genus Culex, Limatus, and Orthopodomyia. The numbers of artificial breeding places and captured immature mosquitoes decreased throughout the study. There was not significant correlation between the number of mosquitoes captured and the environment factors (temperature, precipitation, and air relative humidity) probably due to the control and decreasing in artificial breeding places.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
