Sandfly fauna in an area endemic for visceral leishmaniasis in Aracaju, State of Sergipe, Northeast Brazil

Abstract: Lutzomyia longipalpis is the most abundant species and is probably the main vector of the visceral leishmaniasis agent in the rural area of Aracaju. An increase in L. longipalpis frequency was observed during the rainy season. The peridomicile-intradomicile observations corroborate the importance of chicken sheds for the presence of L. longipalpis in the peridomestic environment. The great numbers of L. longipalpis inside the houses confirm the endophilic behaviour of this species and the possibility of viscer… Show more

“…These results were consistent with the results of other studies using LTs in urban areas of endemic cities in other Brazilian states [8][9][10][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] . The greater abundance of the vectors in the peridomestic habitats may be associated with the attraction exerted by the animals that were present in this environment, as the LTs were specifi cally positioned near the animal shelters that provide their food sources.…”

“…Although the temporal and spatial dynamics of Lu. longipalpis have been described in municipalities located in the States of Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, and São Paulo [8][9][10][11][12][13] , there is still a need to analyze its temporal and spatial dynamics for longer time periods. This paper aimed to describe the epidemiological situation and the abundance of Lu.…”

“…Na tentativa de diminuir o número de casos de LV, muitas medidas de prevenção e controle tem sido utilizadas para interromper a transmissão, dirigidas à população humana, ao vetor e à população canina. Dentre as medidas destacam-se o uso de mosquiteiros, repelentes, telas nas janelas e portas, limpeza do ambiente, eliminação de matéria orgânica, não permanência de animais domésticos dentro de casa e eutanásia de cães doentes 3,4,8 . As medidas de prevenção citadas pela população em estudo convergem com as citadas acima, sendo a limpeza do ambiente a mais apontada.…”

“…A LV, por exemplo, nos últimos anos, teve uma expansão progressiva das áreas rurais para as áreas urbanas de muitas cidades importantes e regiões do Brasil. Os dados epidemiológicos dos últimos dez anos revelam que esse comportamento tem se mantido, com surtos no Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Belo Horizonte (MG), Araçatuba (SP), Santarém (PA), Corumbá (MS), Teresina (PI), Natal (RN), São Luis (MA), Fortaleza (CE), Três Lagoas (MS), Palmas (TO) 2,3,7 . No Piauí, as leishmanioses são doenças conhecidas da população há várias décadas e, desde então, os casos são recorrentes.…”
