“…The sandfly fauna in São Vicente Fér-rer is more similar to that in a military training area located in the central Zona da Mata. This area presents a more preserved plant cover than the remnant of Atlantic rainforest and has reported some outbreaks of cutaneous leishmaniasis 14,15 . A study on the prevalence of Leishmania infection in the human population in Mundo Novo using the delayed hypersensitivity test with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis leishmanin produced by Bio-Manguinhos, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, showed 35% of positive reactions (unpublished data).…”

The aim of this study was to identify the fauna of phlebotomine sandflies in an area with incidence of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) in São Vicente Férrer, a municipality (county) located in the northern Zona da Mata in Pernambuco State, Brazil. Sandfly captures were conducted monthly for four nights/month from December 2002 to November 2003, by means of manual captures (with a Shannon trap) and by CDC light traps. A total of 23,156 specimens of phlebotomines sandflies were collected in a remnant of the Atlantic rainforest, houses, and animal shelters. Lutzomyia complexa was the most prevalent species, with a frequency of 62.5% (14,445/23,156), followed by Lutzomyia migonei, with 33.2% (7,677/23,156). No Lutzomyia longipalpis (the main vector of Leishmania chagasi in Brazil and the Americas) was found in the target area. Some specimens were dissected, but no Leishmania parasites were found.

“…It is the most abundant species in the domicile and peridomicile and has been found naturally infected by L. braziliensis in a focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Amaraji. This species is highly adapted to modified environments, usually found in animal shelters and plantations, but it is seldom found in forested areas 4,10 . Martins et al 12 included Gravatá, Nazaré da Mata and Quipapá in the distribution of Ny.…”

Introduction: Phlebotomine sand flies are small insects of great medical relevance. This article presents an updated list of the phlebotomine sand flies occurring in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Methods: A review of literature published since the 1940s up to May 2010 was conducted and voucher material deposited in reference collections were studied. Results: A total of 37 phlebotomine species have previously been reported as occurring in Pernambuco, but the record of six species needs confirmation. Conclusions: This work provides an updated list of phlebotomine sand flies of Pernambuco, with some notes on their taxonomy, ecology, distribution and epidemiological relevance.

“…For instance, in the state of Pernambuco, the diversity of species is lower than in the states of Maranhão and Bahia, but it is much greater than in the states of Alagoas, Ceará, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte and Sergipe (DANTAS-TORRES et al, 2010). Studies conducted in the state of Pernambuco have identified species of Lutzomyia transmitters of ACL (LUCENA et al, 1984;BRANDÃO-FILHO et al, 1998;SILVA & VASCONCELOS, 2005;BALBINO et al, 2005;ANDRADE et al, 2005;DANTAS-TORRES et al, 2010;GUIMARÃES et al, 2012;MIRANDA et al, 2015;AGRA et al, 2016).…”

Phlebotomines have worldwide distribution with many species present in Brazil, including the northeastern region, where the fauna is very diverse. The aim of this study was to identify the sandfly fauna in an area endemic for American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in the state of Pernambuco. Sandflies were caught on three consecutive nights every month from October 2015 to September 2016, from 5 pm to 5 am, using seven light traps of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) type. Females were identified and used for molecular Leishmania detection. A total of 2,174 specimens belonging to ten species were collected: Lutzomyia choti (88.2%; 1,917/2,174) was the most abundant species, followed by Lutzomyia whitmani (8.1%; 176/2,174) and Lutzomyia sordellii (1.5%; 33/2,174). The majority of the specimens were collected in peridomestic areas (64.1%; 1,394/2,174) and during the rainy period. All the samples examined were negative for Leishmania spp. The presence of Lutzomyia whitmani indoors and in peridomestic areas indicates that the inhabitants of this area are exposed to the risk of infection by the parasites responsible for ACL.Keywords: Lutzomyia, Leishmania, vectors. ResumoOs flebotomíneos apresentam uma ampla distribuição mundial com muitas espécies presentes no Brasil, inclusive na região Nordeste, onde a fauna é bastante rica. O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar a fauna de flebotomíneos em uma área endêmica para Leishmaniose Tegumentar Americana (LTA), no estado de Pernambuco. As capturas foram realizadas mensalmente, durante três noites consecutivas das 17h às 5h, utilizando sete armadilhas luminosas tipo CDC, no período de outubro de 2015 a setembro de 2016. As fêmeas identificadas foram utilizadas para análise molecular para detecção de Leishmania. Um total de 2.174 espécimes pertencentes a dez espécies foram coletadas: Lutzomyia choti (88,2%; 1.917/2.174) a espécie mais abundante, seguida por Lutzomyia whitmani (8,1%; 176/2.174) e Lutzomyia sordellii (1,5%; 33/2.174). A maioria dos espécimes foi coletada no peridomicílio (64,1%; 1.394/2.174) e no período chuvoso. Todas as amostras avaliadas foram negativas para Leishmania spp. A presença de Lutzomyia whitmani no intradomicílio e peridomicílio indica que a população residente nesta área está exposta ao risco de infecção por parasitos causadores de LTA.
