“…Em comparação com os de 1996 a 1998, para a mesma faixa etária (0 a 15 anos), verifica-se que a freqüência de casos aumentou na faixa de 0 a 5 anos (16,6%) e de 6 a 10 anos (29,0%) e diminuiu entre 11 e 15 anos (54,6%). A ocorrência da doença em crianças com idade inferior a cinco anos reforça a hipótese de transmissão intra e/ou peridomiciliar, e tem apoio nas observações de Sessa et al 19 que, em estudo nas regiões de Viana e Cariacica, Espírito Santo, observaram que 4,6% dos pacientes tinham menos de cinco anos, havendo possibilidade da ocorrência de transmissão intradomiciliar em regiões de alta endemicidade da doença.…”

This study presents the distribution of leishmaniasis in the town of Buriticupu, Maranhão, Brazil, by month, season, occupation, gender, and age from 1996 to 1998. These data were compared with those on sand flies obtained by other authors during the same period. The disease affected all age groups, in the following order: 0-5 years (4.1%), 6-10 (7.1%), 11-15 (13.6%), 16-21 (20.8%), 22-30 (21.1%), and > 30 (33.3%)

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by sand flies. The state of Espírito Santo (ES), an endemic area in southeast Brazil, has shown a considerably high prevalence in recent decades. Environmental niche modelling (ENM) is a useful tool for predicting potential disease risk. In this study, ENM was applied to sand fly species and CL cases in ES to identify the principal vector and risk areas of the disease. Sand flies were collected in 466 rural localities between 1997 and 2013 using active and passive capture. Insects were identified to the species level, and the localities were georeferenced. Twenty-one bioclimatic variables were selected from WorldClim. Maxent was used to construct models projecting the potential distribution for five Lutzomyia species and CL cases. ENMTools was used to overlap the species and the CL case models. The Kruskal–Wallis test was performed, adopting a 5% significance level. Approximately 250,000 specimens were captured, belonging to 43 species. The area under the curve (AUC) was considered acceptable for all models. The slope was considered relevant to the construction of the models for all the species identified. The overlay test identified Lutzomyia intermedia as the main vector of CL in southeast Brazil. ENM tools enable an analysis of the association among environmental variables, vector distributions and CL cases, which can be used to support epidemiologic and entomological vigilance actions to control the expansion of CL in vulnerable areas.

American tegumentary leishmaniasis is endemic to the Espírito SantoNorthern Espírito Santo was covered by Atlantic Forest until the mid-20 th century, and American tegumentary leishmaniasis does not appear to have constituted a serious public health problem for the original settlers. Furthermore, there are no records of cases of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis resulting from old infections with Leishmania braziliensis in the region.Beginning in the 1980s, the suspension of insecticide use for malaria control may have favored invasion of houses by sand flies and coincided with the appearance of the first American tegumentary leishmaniasis cases in northern Espírito Santo. The study area was selected in order to obtain information to help elucidate the American tegumentary leishmaniasis epidemiological profile in the region, where human cases have been observed for about 20 years. A total of 2,132 cases were reported from 1986 to 2003 5 .NOTA RESEARCH NOTE
