“…The epidemiological presence of Carrion’s disease in other areas, however, suggests the existence of other Lutzomyia vectors. Lutzomyia serrana was detected in an outbreak in Monzon Valley, L. robusta in outbreaks taking place in Jaen, San Ignacio and Utcubamba, and L. pescei in Huancavelica, Churcampa, Tayacaja, Urubamba, Calca and Quispicanchis (all Peru) during outbreaks [27]. In Colombia, the potential vector for Carrion’s disease is L. columbiana .…”

Infections with Bartonella bacilliformis result in Carrion's disease in humans. In the first phase of infection, the pathogen causes a hemolytic fever ("Oroya fever") with case-fatality rates as high as ~90% in untreated patients, followed by a chronical phase resulting in angiogenic skin lesions ("verruga peruana"). Bartonella bacilliformis is endemic to South American Andean valleys and is transmitted via sand flies (Lutzomyia spp.). Humans are the only known reservoir for this old disease and therefore no animal infection model is available. In the present review, we provide the current knowledge on B. bacilliformis and its pathogenicity factors, vectors, possible unknown reservoirs, established and potential infection models and immunological aspects of the disease.

“…verrucarum and Lu. peruensis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) are considered the main vectors of both diseases [15,16]. In contrast, reports of human bartonellosis cases in the Peruvian Amazon jungle, where leishmaniasis has the highest prevalence, are limited to some high jungle valleys in the northeastern and central regions [17,18].…”

“…Currently, more than 190 sand fly species have been identified in Peru, 80% of them in the Amazon region [16]. However, there are few studies where, in addition to characterizing sand fly species diversity, detection of Leishmania has been done, particularly in high and low rainforest areas where approximately 17 Lutzomyia species were found infected with L. (V.) braziliensis, L. (V.) lainsoni, L. (V.) guyanensis and L. (Viannia) spp.…”

The detection of Bartonella DNA in sand flies has had limited success, with most studies conducted in inter-Andean regions where Carrion's disease is endemic, principally in Cuzco and Ancash departments where two species, Lu.…”

Background In Peru, the information regarding sand fly vectors of leishmaniasis and bartonellosis in the Amazon region is limited. In this study, we carried out sand fly collections in Peruvian lowland and highland jungle areas using different trap type configurations and screened them for Leishmania and Bartonella DNA. Methodology/Principal findings Phlebotomine sand flies were collected in Peruvian Amazon jungle and inter Andean regions using CDC light trap, UV and color LED traps, Mosquito Magnet trap, BG Sentinel trap, and a Shannon trap placed outside the houses. Leishmania spp. screening was performed by kDNA PCR and confirmed by a nested cytochrome B gene (cytB) PCR. Bartonella spp. screening was performed by ITS PCR and confirmed by citrate synthase gene (gltA). The PCR amplicons were sequenced to identify Leishmania and Bartonella species. UV and Blue LED traps collected the highest average number of sand flies per hour in low jungle; UV, Mosquito Magnet and Shannon traps in high jungle; and Mosquito Magnet in inter Andean region. Leishmania guyanensis in Lutzomyia carrerai carrerai and L. naiffi in Lu. hirsuta hirsuta were identified based on cytB sequencing. Bartonella spp. related to Bartonella bacilliformis in Lu. whitmani, Lu. nevesi, Lu. hirsuta hirsuta and Lu. sherlocki, and a Bartonella sp. related to Candidatus B. rondoniensis in Lu. nevesi and Lu. maranonensis were identified based on gltA gene sequencing. Conclusions/Significance UV, Blue LED, Mosquito Magnet and Shannon traps were more efficient than the BG-Sentinel, Green, and Red LED traps. This is the first report of L. naiffi and of two genotypes of Bartonella spp. related to B. bacilliformis and Candidatus B. rondoniensis infecting sand fly species from the Amazon region in Peru.

“…Phlebotominae are small dipterans with nocturnal activity, the females are mainly blood feeders, they take a bloodmeal through a biting to their preferred hosts, many times including human beings; several groups of pathogens take part of this situation, resulting in life cycles for the vector, and for the pathogens (Zorrilla et al 2017). In Peru, nearly 200 species of Phlebotominae were reported; the fauna of the Western slopes and Interandean valleys of the Andean Cordillera includes at least four species (Perez et al 1993), and the fauna of the Eastern slopes from 2000 down to 300 m of altitude is approximately 30 species (Perez et al 1991).…”

Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) deorsa (Pérez, Ogusuku, Monje & Young, 1991) fue descrita en base a un solo espécimen macho; la hembra es descrita aquí a partir de especímenes colectados en Ollantaytambo, Cusco, Perú. El diagnóstico para en género Pintomyia, el subgénero Pifanomyia, la série Verrucarum y ambos sexos de Pi. deorsa son presentados, así como claves para la identificación y separación de las hembras de la serie Verrucarum.
