%X rural electrification programs in remote areas based on both photovoltaic and traditional installations, could introduce a new anthropic factor, which is associated with culicidae. to evaluate differences in mosquitoes attractiveness in relation to types of lamps two new jersey traps were used: one with a 40 w incandescent lamp and the other with the same light intensity, a 9 w fluorescent bulb, compact, with an electronic reactor with 6.200 k of light temperature. the traps were set in two chosen areas according time and place previously established in a total of 11 collections from january and april 2002. the results show that the fluorescent lamp attracted 1,3 more culicidae than the incandescent lamp, in both areas a total of 806 specimens were collected including aedes albopictus skuse, 1894, ochlerotatus scapularis (rondani, 1848), anopheles albitarsis lynch arrib¨¢lzaga, 1878, culex (culex) nigripalpus, theobald, 1901, among others. studies should be carried out before the rural electrifications programs are implemented in order to evaluate the epidemiological consequences of such enterprises.
