Abstract

Insects have great potential to be vectors or reservoirs of microorganisms. This research is an analysis of publications in Brazilian journals about flies, cockroaches and ants carrying pathogens, from 2011 to 2021. For the survey on the academic Google website, the keywords “flies, ants and cockroaches as carriers of pathogens”, “arthropod vectors of microorganisms”, “environment contamination by flies, cockroaches and ants” were used. The results showed few studies on the subject, the environment that was most found contaminated was the hospital environment associated with ants. Ants were also cited in a greater number of articles associated with bacteria. Next, fungi were found in large numbers, but they were associated with cockroaches. Regarding helminths, muscoid dipterans were found vectoring several immature forms of this group. Through this study, the importance of doing more research on the subject was highlighted, since these insects and their associations with pathogenic microorganisms lead to a serious public health problem in the environments.
苍蝇、蟑螂和蚂蚁携带病原体:公共卫生问题
昆虫极有可能成为微生物的载体或贮藏库。本研究分析了 2011 年至 2021 年巴西期刊上有关苍蝇、蟑螂和蚂蚁携带病原体的论文。在谷歌学术网站上进行调查时,使用了 "作为病原体载体的苍蝇、蚂蚁和蟑螂"、"节肢动物的微生物载体"、"苍蝇、蟑螂和蚂蚁造成的环境污染 "等关键词。结果显示,这方面的研究很少,发现污染最严重的环境是与蚂蚁有关的医院环境。与细菌相关的文章中引用蚂蚁的数量也较多。其次,真菌的数量也很多,但都与蟑螂有关。在蠕虫方面,发现蕈状双翅目昆虫会传播几种未成熟的蠕虫。通过这项研究,强调了对这一主题进行更多研究的重要性,因为这些昆虫及其与病原微生物的关联导致了环境中严重的公共卫生问题。
