Abstract: American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in Brazil is caused by a variety of dermotropic Leishmania species and the greatest diversity of these parasites is to be found in the Amazon Region.Transmission of the causal agents involves different species of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) in close relationship with the mammalian reservoir hosts of the parasites, with the consequent formation of a number of different transmission cycles throughout the country. The data from ecological an… Show more

“…Previous studies show that this species is usually found in primary vegetation and to a lesser degree in secondary vegetation, but can also be found both in domestic and peridomestic environments 14 . Studies in Santiago del Estero, which only found specimens of Mg. migonei, along with cases of canine and human VL, proposed this species as a possible vector for L. infantum (syn.…”

“…Previous studies have suggested that both the Phlebotominae L. intermedia and L. migonei are experiencing a process of domiciliation (1) (12) (18) . L. intermedia shows strong evidence of adaptation to domiciliary environments with intense anthropic action (1) (13) (19) (20) .…”
