Resumo

The objective of this study was to isolate and identify fungal species found on Simuliidae larvae in several municipalities of Brazilian Amazonia, especially in the states of Amazonas and Rondônia. The larvae were collected using forceps, pipettes, placed in sterile containers and stored under refrigeration before being dissected in the laboratory. Approximately 30 Simuliidae species were macerated in Saline Solution (0.9%), seeded on Petri dishes containing solid culture media. The total of 87 fungal lineages were identified from homogenates of seven black-fly species: Simulium perflavum Roubaud, S. trombetense Hamada, Py-Daniel & Adler, S. maroniense Floch & Abonnenc, S. cauchense Floch & Abonnenc, S. daltanhani Hamada & Adler, S. rorotaense Floch & Abonnenc and Lutzimulium simplicicolor (Lutz). Fifteen fungal species were identified as: Cladosporium chlorocephalum (Fresen.) (1.1%), C. herbarum (Pers.) Link (1.1%), Penicilium crustosum Thom (2.2%), P. chrysogenum Thom (3.4%), P. lividum Westling (3.4%), P. citrinum Thom (5.7%), P. citreonigrum Dierckx (1.1%), P. corylophilum Dierckx (1.1%), P. fellutanum Biourge (11.4%), P. oxalicum Currie and Thom (2.2%), Gliocladium virens Corda (5.7%), Aspergillus japonicus Saito (10.3%), Trichoderma harzianum Rifai (10.4%), T. koningii Oud. Aggr. (4.6%), Pestalotiopsis guepini (Desmazieres) Steyaert (12.6%) and Mycelia sterilia (22.9%). Knowledge about these fungi and their relationship with Simuliidae larvae can contribute to their use in biological control of disease vectors and to their use in biotechnological studies, with fungal lineages selected for economic potential.
