Abstract

of Phlebotominae (Diptera, Psychodidae) from São Paulo State, Brazil, with notes on their geographical distribution. Biota Neotrop 11(1a): http://www. biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n1a/en/abstract?inventory+bn0361101a2011.Abstract: Phlebotomine sand flies are medically important insects, responsible for the transmission of Leishmania parasites between humans and non-human animal reservoirs, which are found throughout São Paulo State, Brazil. The 69 recorded species of phlebotomine sand flies from São Paulo State, including 7 species reported here for the first time to occur in this region, are organized in a checklist using the phylogenetic classification of Galati (2003). Our checklist incorporates and updates those previously published by and , and includes records for 33 additional phlebotomine species taken from the literature published since and our examination of specimens held in entomological museum collections. For each sand fly species, the geographical distribution by municipality is also given, together with comments on the distribution of the six vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis, as well as Lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis.

Natural canine infection by Leishmania infantum and Leishmania amazonensis and their implications for disease control

“…Moreover, infection in humans depends on their relationship with the chain of parasite transmission (ASHFORD, 2000;LAINSON, 1985). The latest surveys of phlebotomine fauna conducted in some areas of São Paulo have determined that Lutzomyia intermedia is the most abundant species in this state (SHIMABUKURO & GALATI, 2011;SILVA et al, 2012), which coincides with findings of infection by L. (V.) braziliensis (CAMARGO-NEVES et al, 2002). In contrast, L. flaviscutellata, the vector species of L. (L.) amazonensis, has not been found.…”

Occurrence of Lutzomyia longipalpis andhuman and canine cases of visceral leishmaniasis and evaluation of their expansion in the Northwest region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil

“…In addition, other possibilities can be considered, such as the involvement of other sandfl y species in the VL transmission cycle such as Nyssomyia whitmani and Migonemyia migonei (EAB Galati: personal communication), which are present in the study area (30) (31) .…”

Phlebotomines in an area endemic for American cutaneous leishmaniasis in northeastern coast of Brazil

“…These dipterans are distributed around the world, with major abundance in Neotropical regions (SHIMABUKURO & GALATI, 2011). Among the most important species, the ones belonging to the genus Lutzomyia (sensu YOUNG & DUNCAN, 1994) are responsible for transmission of leishmaniasis in the New World (KILLICK-KENDRICK, 1999).…”
