Abstract: Since the description of Lutzomyia longipalpis by Lutz and Neiva more than 100 years ago, much has been written in the scientific literature about this phlebotomine species. Soares and Turco (2003) and Lainson and Rangel (2005) have written extensive reviews focused on vector-host-parasite interactions and American visceral leishmaniasis ecology. However, during the last two decades, the success of Lu. longipalpis in colonising urban environments and its simultaneous geographical spreading have led to new theo… Show more

“…) longipalpis being present in municipalities where there are autochthonous records of human cases of AVL in Tocantins, the vector occurs in all classes of land use, being adapted to all environments including disturbed areas, corroborating studies that discuss its adaptation to changing environments [9,34,40,47,48]. A positive correlation was observed between the presence of L. (L.) longipalpis and areas of secondary vegetation [49] and ombrophilous forest in Tocantins, indicating that the vector is adapted to different environments, especially in areas recovering from human interventions or from natural causes.…”

“…The diversity of environments where AVL should be considered as determinant factors in the maintenance of the disease added to the biological, geographical, and social factors [12,48]. This evidence is related with epidemiological data from last decades, which reveals the suburbanization and urbanization of the disease, with outbreaks in major cities and capitals [3].…”
