Abstract

Haemagogus anastasionis Dyar and Hg. equinus Theobald were captured from a rural area in the Roscio municipality, Guarico State, Venezuela, and Hg. janthinomys was reported for the first time from the central lowland plains subregion of Venezuela. These findings represent potential risk factors for the emergence of arboviruses and their transmission. We thus recommend that the respective health authorities undertake entomological and epidemiological surveillance in this region.
