Abstract
Thysanoptera es un grupo de insectos de pequeña talla. Estos se alimentan de plantas, hongos o son depredadores; pueden ser plagas en sistemas de producción agrícola y causar severas pérdidas económicas. Eventualmente, pueden atacar la piel y ojos de los trabajadores de campos de cultivo o invernaderos; pueden causar piquetes en la piel y provocar reacciones alérgicas moderadas. Se han estudiado las especies que afectan la salud en las zonas templadas del norte del continente Americano y en regiones subtropicales. En este trabajo se informa de las especies que se han registrado en Costa Rica, en el periodo 1990-2007, y que han atacado a humanos.
Thysanoptera is a group of insects of small size. They feed on plantas, fungus or are predaceous. They can be pests in agricultural production systems causing severe economic losses. Eventually they can attack the skin and eyes of workers in the fields or greenhouses. They can cause skin pricks that could lead to mild allergic reactions. We have studied the species that affect health in northern temperate zones and subtropical regions. This paper reports the species that have been recorded in Costa Rica between 1990-2007 affecting humans.
