Abstract: We studied the distribution of sandflies (Diptera: Phlebotominae)--insect vectors of several diseases, including leishmaniasis--at the interface between primary forest and cattle pasture and between primary forest and secondary forest (< 15 yr old) in Southern Brazilian Amazonia. Sandflies were collected by using a combination of light traps and traps having vertebrates as baits. Strong differences in abundance and species richness were found between primary forests and pastures. Very few sandfly species were … Show more

“…Light trap captures allowed the identification of 630 sandflies belonging to 28 species, from 11 genera, confirming the large diversity of the phlebotomine sandfly fauna at these three settlements in the municipality of Cáceres, as already reported from other places in the State of Mato Grosso [14][15][16] . According to Missawa and Maciel 17 and Amaral et al 18 , the variety of phlebotomine sandflies found in the State of Mato Grosso is as expected (107 species) considering the diversity of biomes characteristic of the region, such as savannah, Pantanal, transition forest, and the Amazon rainforest.…”

“…En otros estudios en la PY se conoce por ser una especie antropófila y sospechosas de ser vector de leishmaniasis (Pech-May et al 2010;Rebollar-Téllez et al 2005). La presencia de especies de flebotominos a lo largo de un área se debe a varios factores; como la vegetación, la presencia de mamíferos de los que se alimentan, a las variaciones del clima, la cantidad de materia orgánica en el suelo y la topografía (Azevedo et al 2002;De Luca et al 2003;Feliciangeli 2004;Ivovic et al 2007;Valderrama et al 2008;Travi et al 2002).…”

“…However, damage to forests might play a more important role in the absolute multiplication and proliferation of specific vectors, 212 and human activity may also increase the risk of infection. 213 For example, in virgin primary rain forest devoid of human influence, the Psychodopygus complex species were considered the main phlebotomine sand fly group of the Amazon region.…”
