“…However, L. whitmani is predominant in most of the ACL transmission foci, mainly in domestic and peridomestic areas, whereas L. complexa or other species prevail in wild environments 5 . Compared with other northeastern Brazilian states, the phlebotomine sandfly fauna of Pernambuco is more diverse than Alagoas, Ceará, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe but not Maranhão and Bahia…”

“…A number of studies on ACL in Pernambuco State, northeastern Brazil, have been performed in the past decades and have contributed enormously to the knowledge of ACL ecoepidemiology at the state and country levels [2][3][4][5][6][7] . In particular, the importance of small terrestrial mammals in the transmission chain of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis 7 , the most widespread etiological agent of ACL in Brazil, has been demonstrated.…”

American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a complex disease with clinical and epidemiological features that may vary from region to region. In fact, at least seven different Leishmania species, including Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis, Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni, Leishmania (Viannia) naiffi, Leishmania (Viannia) shawi, Leishmania (Viannia) lindenbergi, and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, have been implicated in the etiology of ACL in Brazil, and numerous phlebotomine sandfly species of the genus Lutzomyia have been regarded as putative or proven vectors. Because ACL is a focal disease, understanding the disease dynamics at the local level is essential for the implementation of more effective control measures. The present paper is a narrative review about the ACL epidemiology in Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. Furthermore, the need for more effective diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention strategies for the affected populations is highlighted. This paper will provide researchers with a critical appraisal of ACL in Pernambuco. Hopefully, it will also be helpful for public health authorities to improve current control strategies against ACL at the state and country levels.

“…Considerando-se a série histórica de casos de LTA na região, verifica-se que se trata de uma importante área de transmissão 1 . No entanto, ressalta-se que, após a intensificação das atividades de prevenção e controle por parte das organizações militares (OM), em seguida ao surto de 1996, houve importante controle da LTA na região.…”
