“…Lutzomyia longipalpis is the main vector of Leishmania infantum chagasi (Gontijo & Melo 2004) and has been reported in all regions of Brazil and in many countries of South America (Souza et al 2009, Salomón et al 2011. It is the most frequent and perhaps the best adapted species with respect to living with humans and domestic animals (Rebêlo et al 1999).…”

Introduction:We report the first find of Lutzomyia longipalpis in the State of Paraná, Brazil. Methods: The specimens were captured in the urban area of the municipality of Foz do Iguaçu, with Falcão light traps, in domiciliary and peridomiciliary areas of 61 properties, on two consecutive nights from 18:00 to 06:00hs in March 2012. Results: We captured 40 specimens of Lu. longipalpis and 54 specimens of other sandfly species. Conclusions: This find expands knowledge of the geographical distribution of this sandfly in Brazil.

“…Subsequent findings have shown dispersion of the vector Lu. longipalpis towards the south 23,24 , along with cases of canine VL in the provinces of Misiones, Corrientes, Entre Ríos and Formosa 23 . Canine and human cases have also been detected in the province of Santiago del Estero, but Migonemyia migonei, a species which has also been proposed as a link between the wild zoonotic cycle in rural areas and the domestic cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) 19 , has been implicated as putative vector 22 .…”

SUMMARY The first Argentinian autochthonous human case of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was confirmed in Posadas (Misiones) in 2006. Since then, the disease has increased its incidence and geographical distribution. In the 2006-2012 period, 107 human cases were detected (11 deaths). The presence of Lutzomyia longipalpis was detected in peridomiciles in Puerto Iguazú urban area in 2010; some of these findings were associated with households where cases of canine VL had already been reported. The objective of this study was to ascertain the abundance and spatial distribution of Lu. longipalpis in Puerto Iguazú City, on the Argentina-Brazil-Paraguay border. Lu. longipalpis proved to be exclusively urban and was found in 31% of the households sampled (n = 53), 67% of which belonged to areas of low abundance, 20% to areas of moderate abundance and 13% to areas of high abundance. Nyssomyia whitmani was the only species found both in urban and peri-urban environments, and Migonemyia migonei was registered only on the outskirts of the city. Due to the fact that Puerto Iguazú is considered to be at moderate risk at the moment, it is necessary to intensify human and canine case controls, as well as take integrated prevention and control measures regarding the environment, vectors and reservoirs on the Argentina-Brazil-Paraguay border area.
