“…Anhanduizinho and Lagoa, the city's southwestern urban regions, have higher population densities and larger expanses of vegetation, favorable factors for the breeding of sandflies in addition to higher concentrations of dogs, the principal urban reservoirs of L. chagasi 17 . Higher concentrations of the vector in both regions have been reported for the 2003-2005 period 6 . In the present investigation, larger numbers of seropositive dogs and greater proportions of households harboring sandflies were found in both regions, placing its residents at increased risk of contracting VL.…”

“…In Campo Grande, the state capital, the laying down of avenues bordering water courses and the clearing of native vegetation to make way for low-income housing developments have had a major impact on the environment. The high ratio of L. longipalpis occurrence relative to other phlebotomine species in areas of human and canine leishmaniasis cases reflects the insect's role as a VL vector in the Brazil 6 (Table 1). Cases were diagnosed and reported in every month during the study period, with higher rates observed from September to March.…”

“…longipalpis in peridomicile and intradomicile areas. Major contributions to this field of research were made in Araçatuba (SP) by Camargo Neves (2004), in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, by Rezende et al (2006) and in Campo Grande (SP) by Silva et al (2007). In previous research, several indexes have been used, with the absolute number and the arithmetic mean of the specimens being most frequently used, followed by the distribution of frequencies in percentages and trap indexes.…”
