“…Migonemyia migonei has also been incriminated as a permissive vector of Le. infantum (Moya et al., ; Guimarães et al., ). Thus, the epidemiological risk associated with the presence of these species is highlighted, although their specific role in transmission must still be verified.…”

“…While the incidence of TL oscillates between epidemic and interepidemic years, that of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has increased sharply, accompanied by an expansion to new areas. From 2006, when the first human case of VL was described in Posadas City, in the province of Misiones, until 2014, 141 VL cases were reported in four provinces, with Misiones having the highest incidence (Moya et al., ). In this province, the disease has been associated with Leishmania infantum (Nicolle)‐infected dogs and Lu.…”

Temporal distribution of, and effect of anthropic modifications on, phlebotomine populations in the Chaco Bioregion, Argentina

Migonemyia migonei is the predominant species in the dry ecoregion and Nyssomyia neivai in the humid region, although co-dominance in humid highly modified areas could be observed. Vector abundance seems to be modulated by environmental anthropization, as the abundance and predominance of Ny. neiviai and Mg. migonei increased in highly modified areas. In Humid Chaco, the risk of human-vector contact would be present throughout the year, being particularly high in spring/summer, and in Dry Chaco, the risk would be restricted to temperate and humid months.

“…By contrast, Mg. migonei was reported both as a vector of L. braziliensis (Salomón et al ., ; Pita Pereira et al ., ) and as a putative vector of L. infantum in Argentina and Brazil (De Carvalho et al ., ; Salomón et al ., ), and Moya et al . () were the first to report this species with Le. infantum DNA in Argentina.…”

“…Previous studies showed that this species is usually found not only in primary vegetation and at a lower abundance in secondary vegetation, but also both inside houses and in peri-domestic environments associated with domestic animal shelters (Rangel & Lainson, 2009). By contrast, Mg. migonei was reported both as a vector of L. braziliensis (Salomón et al, 2004;Pita Pereira et al, 2005) and as a putative vector of L. infantum in Argentina and Brazil (De Carvalho et al, 2010;, and Moya et al (2015) were the first to report this species with Le. infantum DNA in Argentina.…”

Multiple species of Phlebotominae are vectors of Leishmania (Protozoa: Trypanosomatidae), which causes visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). To describe the Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) related to the environments of black and gold howler monkeys Alouatta caraya (Humbodlt, 1812) (Primates: Atelidae), potential vectors were sampled in different landscapes and vertical strata of sleeping trees. Phlebotomine captured between December 2011 and March 2012 (2365 individuals) belonged to eight species, of which Nyssomyia neivai (Pinto, 1926) (61.4%) and Migonemyia migonei (França, 1920) (18.73%) were the most abundant, and Ny. withmani was recorded for the first time in the Chaco province. In the ‘peri‐domestic’ landscape, the phlebotomine were mainly captured in henhouses (78.7%), whereas the tree canopy in ‘rural’ and ‘wild’ landscapes yielded 31.2% and 29.1% of the phlebotomine, respectively. A significant association between the type of landscape and the species of phlebotomine was observed by multivariate analysis. Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) and Mg. migonei were associated with ‘peri‐domestic’ landscape, and Ny. neivai was associated with the ‘wild’ landscape. The results of this prospective study suggest that the interaction between phlebotomine and A. caraya could be a key factor with respect to understanding the epidemiology of leishmaniasis.
