| Abstract (English): |
The article focuses on the entomoepidemiological risk arising from the coexistence of three arbovirus vector species — Aedes aegypti, Anopheles albimanus, and Culex quinquefasciatus — in three cemeteries in the Piura department, Peru. A total of 216 specimens of these species were identified in the Catacaos, San Miguel Arcángel, and San Teodoro cemeteries, with variations in abundance depending on the site and the sex of the mosquitoes. The cemeteries function as potential vector reservoirs, which represents a challenge for traditional vector control, primarily focused on indoor environments and Aedes aegypti. Given insecticide resistance and the adaptability of arboviruses, it is proposed to include these spaces in control strategies that consider biotechnological methods and environmental management to reduce mosquito proliferation.

Se identificaron 216 ejemplares de estas especies en los cementerios Catacaos, San Miguel Arcángel y San Teodoro, con variaciones en abundancia según el sitio y el sexo de los mosquitos. Los cementerios funcionan como reservorios potenciales de vectores, lo que representa un desafío para el control vectorial tradicional, enfocado principalmente en ambientes intradomiciliarios y en Aedes aegypti. Ante la resistencia a insecticidas y la adaptabilidad de los arbovirus, se propone incluir estos espacios en estrategias de control que consideren métodos biotecnológicos y manejo ambiental para reducir la proliferación de mosquitos.
