“…In our study, Psychodopygus predominated over other groups in both black (62.8%) and white (57.4%) traps, with the females accounting for 84% of this genus. These findings are consistent with the results of Castellón et al [ 13 , 14 ], Cabanillas et al [ 11 ], and Souza et al [ 66 ], who also used white Shannon traps and human bait in Brazilian and Peruvian Amazonia, and found a high density of Psychodopygus females. These results differ from those of Alves et al [ 2 ] who collected more males than females, with Psathyromyia dreisbachi , Ps.…”

“…The species of the Nyssomyia genus collected have already been reported in Acre, Brazil and neighboring countries [ 5 , 10 , 11 , 27 , 63 , 70 , 71 ]. Nyssomyia whitmani is considered a species complex that is widespread in Brazil and is of epidemiological importance as the main vector of Leishmania (V.) braziliensis in this country, and for having been incriminated in the transmission cycle of L. (V.) guyanensis and L. (V.) shawi in the Amazon region [ 16 , 22 , 41 , 42 , 55 ].…”

In the Amazon region the phlebotomine fauna is considered one of the most diverse in the world. The use of Shannon traps may provide information on the anthropophily of the species and improve the traps’ performance in terms of diversity and quantity of insects collected when white and black colored traps are used together. This study sought to verify the attractiveness of the traps to the phlebotomine species of the Brazilian Amazon basin using Shannon traps under these conditions. The insects were collected using two Shannon traps installed side by side, one white and the other black, in a primary forest area of the municipality of Xapuri, Acre, Brazil. Samples were collected once a month during the period August 2013 to July 2015. A sample of females was dissected to test for natural infection by flagellates. A total of 6,309 (864 males and 5,445 females) specimens (36 species) were collected. Psychodopygus carrerai carrerai (42%), Nyssomyia shawi (36%), and Psychodopygus davisi (13%), together represented 90% of the insects collected. Nyssomyia shawi and Psychodopygus davisi were more attracted by the white color. Specimens of Nyssomyia shawi, Nyssomyia whitmani, and Psychodopygus hirsutus hirsutus were found naturally infected by flagellates in the mid and hindgut. This is the first study in Acre state using and comparing both black and white Shannon traps, demonstrating the richness, diversity, and anthropophilic behavior of the phlebotomine species and identifying proven and putative vectors of the etiological agents of leishmaniasis.

Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) in urban rainforest fragments, Manaus – Amazonas State, Brazil

The non-flooded upland rainforest fragment in the Federal University of Amazonas Campus is considered one of the world's largest urban tropical woodland areas and Brazil's second largest one in an urban setting. It is located in the city of Manaus, State of Amazonas at 03° 04' 34″ S, 59° 57' 30″ W, in an area covering nearly 800 hectares. Forty-one (41) sand fly species belonging to genus Lutzomyia were found attaining a total of 4662 specimens collected. Lutzomyia umbratilis was the dominant species at all heights, followed by Lutzomyia anduzei and Lutzomyia claustrei. The fauna alpha diversity index showed to be 6.4, which is not much lower than that reported for areas of continuous forest in this Amazonian region. This data provides additional evidence on Phlebotomine sand flies found to transmit Leishmania and other trypanosomatids to humans and other animals circulating in this area. This is the first study being reported on sand flies collected in an urban rainforest fragment in Amazonia.
