quinquefasciatus should not be neglected, as it likely plays an important role in maintaining viruses within bird populations and is responsible for transmitting the filarial nematode
Wuchereria bancrofti, which is still endemic in the Hispaniola (Addiss & Chuke, 2002).

Conviene, para concluir, recordar el gran numero de enfermedades vectoriales cuyo entorno mas favorable tiene que ver con los ciclos de sus hospedadores intermediarios, desde arbovirosis (fiebre del valle del Rift, dengue, fiebre amarilla o fiebre de Nilo occidental) hasta parasitosis como las tripanosomosis (chagas, enfermedad del sueno), oncocercosis (ceguera de los rios) por Onchocerca volvulus, filariosis linfatica por

Filariasis, caused by infestation of the lymph nodes by the parasite
Wuchereria bancrofti , is the most common and global cause of secondary lymphedema.[2] The precise role of some pathogens in lymphatic obstruction is uncertain.
The term ENV was first coined by Aldo Castellani in 1934 to differentiate the condition from elephantiasis tropica (filariasis), which is caused by parasitic
Wuchereria worms.
[1] It is caused by lymphatic dwelling nematodes namely
Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori, and transmitted by the bite of infective mosquitoes.
Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae), is the most common mosquito in rural and urban areas which in capable of transferring a number of pathogens i.e., West Nile Virus (WNV) (CDC, 2002; Turell et al., 2001;Alouani et al., 2009), avian pox virus, bird malaria pathogen, dog heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, filarial nematode,

The primers used target a 724 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene and are specific for various filarioid helminths (e.g., Dirofilaria,
