Resumo

Simuliidae are known to be vectors of tropical diseases, as well as the transmission of viruses, bacteria and protozoa. The objective of the study was to isolate and identify bacteria from the digestive tract of larvae from breeding sites in several municipalities in the Amazon, especially in the States of Amazonas and Rondônia. Larvae were collected using tweezers and stored in sterile tubes under refrigeration. In the laboratory, a total of 210 larvae were dissected under aseptic conditions and then bacterial isolation, multiplication and characterization were carried out. Specific identification was based on the 16S ribosomal DNA method, complemented with biochemical tests (BBL Crystal, BBL and Bactray System, Laborclin). A total of 58 bacterial isolates were obtained and the representative genera in the larvae of 7 Simuliidae species analyzed were Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Haphinia, Chromobacterium and Escherichia. Knowledge about the bacterial diversity of insects can contribute both to a better understanding of host-microorganism relationships and to the search for bacterial species for use in biological control programs for insect vectors of diseases or agricultural pests.
