Abstract This study aimed to verify the performance of the information produced by the GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) mission and TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission) on the eastern region of São Paulo state, based on a comparison of rainfall data from DAEE (Department of Waters and Electric Energy of São Paulo State). The comparison was done by comparing spatially aggregated information from both sources. In order to analyze the results, we measured: (1) Relative Difference, (2) BIAS and (3) Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). It was found that the relative differences were in the range of -20% to 20% for both missions. Analyzing the BIAS for both satellites it was observed that 68% of the measurements were overestimated. The highest agreement was obtained for the mesoregion of Campinas and the lowest for Araraquara. In the TRMM, the lowest RMSE values were found in the Araraquara mesoregion and the highest in Piracicaba. In the GPM the closest measured values were observed in the Piracicaba mesoregion, while the most distant values were identified in Araraquara. All the analyzes of this work demonstrated similarity between the errors generated by both satellites. New comparison studies are needed to better understand the products.

This report shows the phlebotomine vectorial role in the endemic cutaneous leishmaniasis situated in the middle and north-eastern region of the São Paulo, Brazil. Analysis of information encloses a sandfly man-biting fauna of four different patches of residual forest. So, using the human-bait and Shannon trap for a period of one year we have caught 16,869 sandflies. The predominance of Lutzomyia intermedia (85,6%) was clear. Moreover, the low density of Lutzomyia whitmani and Lutzomyia pessoai and their epidemiological implications at present and in the past are discussed. Information about the daily activity of some species is given and we emphasize for the first time, the diurnal activity of Lutzomyia firmatoi in the São Paulo State.

Citrus latifolia Tanaka (Rutaceae) is a perennial and spinescent citrus tree. Knowledge of the mite fauna on this plant in São Paulo State is limited. The aim of this work was to survey the mite species from a C. latifolia orchard in Artur Nogueira municipality, central-eastern region of São Paulo state. Leaf samples were collected every two weeks from November 2011 to April 2012 for examination under a stereomicroscope. Mites found were mounted on microscopic slides in Hoyer's medium. In total, 147 mites representing 21 species of 11 families were found. Panonychus citri (McGregor, 1916) (Tetranychidae) was the dominant phytophagous species, accounting for about 20% of all mites. The predatory mite family Phytoseiidae was the most diverse, comprising nine species. Brevipalpus yothersi Baker, 1949 and P. citri are reported for the first time in C. latifolia in Brazil.

The urban population increase in the world, the economic expansion, and the rise in living standards associated with society’s habits and lifestyles accelerated the municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in undeveloped countries, such as in Brazil, in which the generation increased by 25% from 2012 to 2017. In the same period, the São Paulo state, the richest Brazilian state, increased its municipal solid waste generation by 51%. All this MSW needed to be collected and transported, and this process has a high economic and environmental cost. Therefore, this study aims to identify, using spatial analysis, the routes used by MSW trucks to estimate the distances traveled to dispose of the MSW on a regional scale considering all municipalities in the São Paulo state. The findings showed that the landfill numbers decrease, mainly individual ones, which receive MSW only from the city where it is located. Otherwise, the consortium landfills number is increasing, as well as the number of municipalities that share the same disposal site. Consequently, the distances to transport MSW from urban areas to final disposal sites increased by about 55% from 2012 to 2017, reaching 613 million kilometers during this period. This total distance is sufficient to make more than 12,806 laps on Earth and contribute to high fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission.
