In the fields of public health and entomology, the turn of the 20th century was marked by an emphasis on insects as transmitters of disease. Physicians, bacteriologists and zoologists perseverently tried to understand the etiology of diseases like malaria and yellow fever and make an inventory of the species of insects associated with disease, studying their scientific and biological classification and establishing procedures to control epidemics. The Swiss zoologist Emílio Goeldi (1859-1917), who was then director of the Museum of Natural History and Ethnography of Pará, in Belém, was an active participant in this scientific network and wrote a number of papers on mosquitos in the Amazon. His ideas and contributions to zoology and medical entomology are the focus of this paper.
在公共卫生和昆虫学领域，20世纪初的特点是强调昆虫作为疾病传播者。医生、细菌学家和动物学家坚持不懈地试图了解疟疾和黄热病等疾病的病因，并列出与疾病相关的昆虫种类清单，研究它们的科学和生物学分类，并建立控制流行病的程序。当时担任贝伦帕拉自然历史和民族志博物馆馆长的瑞士动物学家埃米利奥·戈尔迪（1859 - 1917）是这个科学网络的积极参与者，并撰写了多篇关于亚马逊地区蚊子的论文。本文重点关注他对动物学和医学昆虫学的观点及贡献。
