Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the fauna of phlebotomine sandflies in an area with incidence of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) in São Vicente Férrer, a municipality (county) located in the northern Zona da Mata in Pernambuco State, Brazil. Sandfly captures were conducted monthly for four nights/month from December 2002 to November 2003, by means of manual captures (with a Shannon trap) and by CDC light traps. A total of 23,156 specimens of phlebotomines sandflies were collected in a remnant of the Atlantic rainforest, houses, and animal shelters. Lutzomyia complexa was the most prevalent species, with a frequency of 62.5% (14,445/23,156), followed by Lutzomyia migonei, with 33.2% (7,677/23,156). No Lutzomyia longipalpis (the main vector of Leishmania chagasi in Brazil and the Americas) was found in the target area. Some specimens were dissected, but no Leishmania parasites were found.
Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a fauna de flebotomíneos envolvida em área de incidência de leishmaniose visceral americana no Município de São Vicente Férrer, localizado na Zona da Mata de Pernambuco, Brasil. Capturas de flebotomíneos foram realizadas mensalmente durante quatro noites, entre dezembro de 2002 e novembro de 2003, através de capturas manuais com auxílio da armadilha de Shannon e armadilhas luminosas modelo CDC. O total de 23.156 exemplares de flebotomíneos foi coletado em resquícios de Mata Atlântica, casas e abrigos de animais. Lutzomyia complexa apresentou predominância de 62,5% (14.445/23.156), seguida por Lutzomyia migonei, 33,2% (7.677/23.156). Lutzomyia longipalpis, principal vetor de Leishmania chagasi no Brasil e nas Américas, não foi encontrado nesta região. Alguns exemplares foram dissecados para a pesquisa de infecção natural, mas não foram detectadas formas características de Leishmania.
