Flebotomíneos (Diptera: Psychodidae) de um foco de leishmaniose tegumentar no Estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract: Na localidade do Brejo do Mutambal, situado no município de Varzelândia (MG), área endêmica para leishmaniose tegumentar, foram realizadas capturas mensais sistemáticas utilizando-se armadilhas luminosas do tipo CDC durante o período de janeiro a dezembro de 2000. Foram capturadas 19 espécies de flebotomíneos, totalizando 6.756 exemplares. Lutzomyia intermedia (5,1%), L. migonei (0,4%) e L. whitmani (0,1%), relacionadas com a transmissão de leishmaniose tegumentar, foram capturadas em número reduzido. Lutzomyi… Show more

“…In the present study, the month with the highest numbers of specimens and species collected was the month with the highest relative humidity and rainfall. These factors favor growth of vegetation and accumulation of organic matter in the soil, thus making it possible for breeding sites to appear (DIAS et al, 2007). Although representative correlations between sandfly numbers and rainfall and relative humidity have been reported (GUIMARÃES et al, 2012), climatic variation did not have any influence on the abundance of specimens in the present study.…”

“…whitmani, besides being the most abundant overall (167/630), was most frequently found in the savannah (75.4%) as discovered in the State of Mato Grosso by Missawa e cols 5 . It is known that cutaneous leishmaniasis is a zoonosis of rural environments 35,36 similar to the settlements studied here.…”

“…Considerando-se o conceito, a presença de encostas íngremes e pedreiras podem se destacar por serem propícias para a manutenção da fauna flebotomínica, com relatos da ocorrência de casos em domicílios situados próximos a paredões rochosos 22,23 .…”
