“…whitmani and its abundance in the periurban area agree with other studies that indicated that this species is in the process of adapting to modified environments (Brazil et al 1991, Azevedo et al 1996. Of note, this species is considered the main vector of L. (V.) braziliensis in several parts of Brazil (Mayrink et al 1979, Carvalho et al 2008.…”

“…the vector for Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, was the fifth most abundant species. It was present both indoors and in areas surrounding homes, which shows that it has become adapted to human-modified environments, as seen in other Brazilian regions 1 and in other studies in Mato Grosso do Sul 5 17 19 27 .…”

The aims of this study were to carry out a serological survey of canine leishmaniasis and identify the phlebotomine fauna in the urban area of Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul. The serological survey was conducted on a sample of 303 dogs, by means of the indirect immunofluorescence test. Phlebotomines were captured using automated light traps. The serological survey found that 30% of the dogs were seropositive, both from the center and from all districts of the town. A total of 2,772 specimens of phlebotomines were caught and the species most found was Lutzomyia longipalpis (90.4%), which corroborated its role as the vector of for canine visceral leishmaniasis in the region. Phlebotomines of the species Bichromomyia flaviscutellata (the main vector for Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis) and Nyssomyia whitmani (the vector for Leishmania (Viannia) brasiliensis) were also caught. The findings indicate the need for continuous epidemiological surveillance, with attention towards diminishing the vector breeding sites and the transmission of these diseases in that region.

“…In Ilhéus, south of Bahia, Azevedo et al (1996), studying a focus of ACL in an area of Atlantic Forest, found 11 species of sand flies, with the predominance of L. whitmani, followed by L. migonei, L. schreiberi, L. intermedia, L. yuilli yuilli, L. fischeri, and L. shannoni, which were also present in our area of tropical rain forest, where the L. longipalpis did not exist. Vexenat et al (1986), in Três Braços, in the south of Bahia, an area of identical forest vegetation to that above mentioned, and endemic for ACL, registered 30 species of sand flies, where the L. whitmani was predominant within the peripheral residential area close to the forest, followed by L. ayrozai.…”

A study about the horizontal stratification of the sand fly fauna in two distinct ecosystems, caatinga area, endemic for visceral leishmaniasis, and the tropical rain forest area, endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis, was performed in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Lutzomyia longipalpis was predominant in the caatinga, and following it came the species L. capixaba and L. oswaldoi. In the tropical rain forest other species were found, such as L. intermedia, L. migonei, L. whitmani, L. yuilli, L.fischeri, L. damascenoi, L. evandroi, L. monticola, and L. lenti. It was found that the geographical limits of the vector species of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis are clearly defined by the biological and phytogeographic characteristics
