“…Aragão (1922) Data from different studies have shown a significant percentage of this species in the domicile and peridomicile. Although being the more aggressive man-biter, L. intermedia appears to be strongly attracted by dogs and horses, suggested as secondary reservoirs of L. (V.) braziliensis (Menezes et al 1974, Araújo Filho 1978, Sabroza 1981, Coutinho et al 1981, Rangel et al 1986, 1990, 1998.…”

Lutzomyia intermedia and Lutzomyia whitmani occur sympatrically in the district of Posse, municipality of Petrópolis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro (114 km from the city of Rio de Janeiro), where sand flies were captured weekly for three consecutive years in both the peridomicile and forest, in two first years from 18:00 to 22:00 h, using a Shannon trap and CDC light traps. The anthropophilic habit was assessed by recording the specimens that bit the human captors. Considering the different capture types and sites, the following species were identified: Brumptomyia brumpti, B. cardosoi, B. guimaraesi, Lutzomyia amarali, L. longipalpis, L. microps, L. costalimai, L. edwardsi, L. firmatoi, L. migonei, L. termitophila, L. tupynambai, L. fischeri, L. pessoai, L. lutziana, L. shannoni, L. barrettoi, L. intermedia, L. whitmani, L. lloydi, and L. minasensis. L. intermedia (38.3%) and L. whitmani (38.6%) predominated. L. intermedia predominated in the peridomicile, where it displayed more intense anthropophily, while L. whitmani displayed greater density in the banana plantations and forest, preferential sites for biting humans. Studies on seasonality showed that while L. intermedia displayed greater density in the hottest months of the year (December, January, and February), L. whitmani was abundant in the coolest months (June, July, and August), although both occurred throughout the year

“…Lutzomyia intermedia (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) is probably the main vector of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis in the State of Rio de Janeiro (Aragão 1922, Nery-Guimarães 1955, Menezes et al 1974, Araújo-Filho 1978, Sabroza 1981, Coutinho et al 1981, Rangel et al 1984, 1986, 1990, with a domiciliary and peridomiciliary transmission cycle.…”

“…Two species of Leishmania are responsible for the disease, Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. In the coastal region of Saquarema, as observed in several localities in the State, it has been constantly present mainly in the rural population (Menezes et al 1974, Brazil et al 1989, Aguiar et al 1993. This region has undergone intense forestry devastation in the last centuries due to the increase of new settlements spawning agricultural and cattle-raising activities.…”

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, is sporadic in many rural and suburban areas of Rio de Janeiro State. An investigation was carried out during 2008/9 in the Municipality of Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Southeast Brazil, in order to identify the phlebotomine sand fly fauna. More than 2,100 sand flies were collected in peridomestic areas in two chicken coops using CDC light traps. Nine species of phlebotomine sand flies were identified: Nyssomyia intermedia, Nyssomyia whitmani, Pintomyia (P.) pessoai, Pintomyia (P.) fischeri, Pintomyia (P.) bianchigalatiae, Migonemyia (M.) migonei, Lutzomyia (L.) longipalpis, Brumptomyia cunhai and Brumptomyia guimaraesi. Based on the results of this study together with related studies in other CL foci in Rio de Janeiro, both Nissomyia intermedia and Migonemyia migonei can be considered suspect vectors of the disease in the region. The potential risk of VL due to the presence of its proven vector L. longipalpis is discussed. Journal of Vector Ecology 36 (Supplement 1): S95-S98. 2011.
