“…The province of Misiones is considered highly endemic for ACL, with outbreaks mainly associated with anthropogenic changes in the environment, leading to edge effects in rural and peri-urban landscapes (Fernández et al, 2012;Quintana et al, 2012;Salomón et al, 2016). The species collected in this study align with the Phlebotominae fauna records from Misiones province reported by Moya et al (2021). Nyssomyia whitmani was the most abundant species followed by M. migonei, in accordance with other studies conducted in rural areas of Misiones (Fernández et al, 2012;Quintana et al, 2020).…”

American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is the most prevalent form of leishmaniasis, associated with an ulcerative and stigmatizing mucocutaneous pathology. This study assessed the incidence of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis in members of the Argentine Army who were exposed to sandfly bites in Iguazú National Park (INP), northeastern Argentina, during an outbreak of ACL in 2019, and the presence of Leishmania in rodents, opossums and phlebotomine sandflies collected in the area of exposure. Samples from military personnel, wild animals and phlebotomine sandflies were analysed. A total of 20 (40%) patients among the Army personnel and two Akodon montensis rodents (11%) were positive for the presence of Leishmania sp. genes by PCR, while Nyssomyia whitmani and Migonemyia migonei, competent vectors of Leishmania, were also found at the same site. Sequences of hsp70 DNA fragments obtained from human samples confirmed the identity of L. (V.) braziliensis. The risk to which military personnel carrying out activities in the forest are exposed is highlighted, and this risk extends to any worker and visitor who circulates without protection in the INP, coming into contact with transmission “hot spots” due to the concentration of vectors, reservoirs and/or parasites.

“…In Brazil, ACL is expanding to peri-urban and urban environments, where human cases have been reported, and some vectors have been collected from households 6 . This scenario has also been reported in Argentina, a neighboring country 11 , where the adaptation of some sandfly species to urban and domestic environments has been observed owing to environmental changes and alterations. In this case, some species that were previously wild take on a peri-urban or urban profile under the pressure of these changes 12 .…”

Background:The American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is expanding in peri-urban environments.Methods: An entomological survey was conducted in the area of the occurrence of an autochthonous urban case of ACL. Sandflies and a parasitological slide of the human case were submitted for molecular diagnosis.Results: Nyssomyia whitmani and Ny. antunesi were the most frequently collected species. Ny. whitmani and Bichromomyia flaviscutellata were positive for Leishmania guyanensis and L. lainsoni, respectively. The human case tested positive for L. lainsoni. Conclusions:Sandflies and Leishmania parasites present in urban forest may occur frequently in nearby domiciliary environments; thus, these areas must be monitored.

“…The present study reported 15 Phlebotominae species in the province of Corrientes out of the 46 recorded in Argentina (Moya et al, 2021), with most of the reports distributed in the north and east of the province. Samplings were distributed throughout the peripheral area of the province, generally in cities of high population density that are located on or a few km apart from national routes 12 and 14.…”

We updated the distribution of Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) species and human cases of leishmaniasis in the Province of Corrientes, Argentina. Evandromyia correalimai (Martins, Coutinho & Lutz, 1970) is a new record for the province, reported in the urban area of Santo Tomé. We include the currently known distribution map of Phlebotominae sandfly species in Corrientes, and the localities where they were recorded, as well as a map of vector species and reported human cases of leishmaniases.
