“…The data from the current study refl ect other scenarios previously discussed for L. whitmani, which has been suggested to be the most important ACL vector in Brazil but has been infrequently observed in Rio de Janeiro (9) (10) (21) (22) (23) . However, in Posse (a rural area in Petropolis, RJ), this species was found in the peridomicile and the forest in higher densities than it has been found in other areas of Rio de Janeiro.…”

Introduction:The presence of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in the communities of the Campus FIOCRUZ Mata Atlântica (CFMA) in the City of Rio de Janeiro initiated the investigation of the Phlebotominae fauna in the Atlantic Forest to determine the occurrence of putative ACL vectors associated with the enzootic cycle. Methods: For 24 consecutive months, sand fl ies were captured inside the forest and in the border area near the communities. Results: The following sand fl y species were identifi ed: Brumptomyia brumpti, Brumptomyia cunhai, Brumptomyia nitzulescui, Lutzomyia edwardsi, Lutzomyia pelloni, and Lutzomyia quinquefer. Other identifi ed sand fl y vectors, such as Lutzomyia intermedia (the predominant species), Lutzomyia migonei, Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia fi scheri, and Lutzomyia hirsuta hirsuta, are associated with ACL transmission, and the vector for American visceral leishmaniases (AVL), Lutzomyia longipalpis, was also found. Conclusions: All sand fl y vectors were found in both studied environments except for Lutzomyia whitmani, which was only identifi ed in the forest. This study represents the fi rst identifi cation of Lutzomyia longipalpis in the CFMA, and the epidemiological implications are discussed.Keywords: American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. American Visceral Leishmaniasis. Rio de Janeiro City. Lutzomyia longipalpis. Lutzomyia intermedia.All the Brazilian states currently report human cases of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in a significant number of municipalities. ACL is transmitted from a complex parasitosis that involves multiple parasites, vectors and vertebrate hosts in restricted ecologic niches (1) .In the State of Rio de Janeiro, the occurrence of ACL has been recorded since the beginning of the previous century. In the last few decades, ACL has been observed in epidemic outbreaks in different municipalities, including the economically developed City of Rio de Janeiro. In the capital of the state, the disease is particularly prevalent in the western areas (2) of the region around the Pedra Branca massif in the neighborhood of Jacarepaguá where the Campus FIOCRUZ da Mata Atlântica (CFMA) is located (3) .Approximately 55% of the CFMA consists of the Pedra Branca State Park, a preserved environmental area of the Atlantic Forest. Six communities comprise the remaining 45% of the CFMA: Vianna do Castelo, Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, Faixa Azul, Fincão, Sampaio Correa, and Caminho da Cachoeira. Cases of ACL from these communities historically represent approximately 8% of all human ACL cases recorded in Rio de Janeiro with evidence of intra-and peridomiciliary transmission (3) . The current study aims to improve the understanding of the eco-epidemiology of ACL at the CFMA by studying the Phlebotominae fauna, potential vectors in the forest environment associated with a zoonotic cycle, and the interface between ACL and the community of Caminho da Cachoeira. METHODS Study areaThe CFMA is located in part of the former hospice Colonia Juliano Moreira in the neighbor...

“…More recent studies have identified L. whitmani in preserved areas, as well as in shelters for domestic animals, and it is also the second most frequent species to bite humans in the peridomicile (Souza et al 2001). De Souza et al (1995) in São José do Vale do Rio Preto, a neighbour municipality to our capture area (Fig.…”

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

“…a : in the literature there are two more species that requires confirmation: Lutzomyia correlimai (Galati 2000), and Lutzomyia teratodes (Young & Duncan 1994) (Rangel et al 1984, Oliveira-Neto et al 2000, Souza et al 2001, in the state of São Paulo (Forattini et al 1972, Gomes et al 1990, Gomes 1994, Tolezano 1994, Stolf et al 1993, Casanova 2001 and in the state of Paraná (Teodoro & Kuhl 1997), and in Argentina (Salomón 2001a(Salomón -e, 2002. However, in a eastern primary forest reserve in the state of Paraná, Brazil, L. ayrozai and L. geniculata were the predominant species (Marcondes et al 2001).…”
