Abstract | We evaluated the ecological and epidemiological aspects of the sand ßy fauna in an area
of the Atlantic Forest biome with records of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis. Sand ßy collections
at three different localities at the National Monument of Pontões Capixabas, State of Espírito Santo,
Southeastern Brazil, were conducted by using two Centers of Disease Control and Prevention
automatic light traps in the peridomiciliary environment and eight Centers of Disease Control and
Prevention automatic light traps in the forested environment. Collections occurred during four
consecutive nights within each of the months and locations: São Luiz (December 2009, May 2010, July
2010, and December 2010), Córrego Palmital de Baixo (September 2010 and October 2010), and
Co´rrego Sa˜o Bento (February 2011 and May 2011). We collected 21,138 sand ßies belonging to 31
species and 14 genera. Of this total, 12,412 sand ßies were captured in the peridomiciliary environment
and 8,726 in the forested environment. All of the vector species, Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutzomyia
longipalpis, sensu; Young and Duncan), Migonemyia migonei (Lutzomyia migonei, sensu; Young and
Duncan), and Nyssomyia intermedia (Lutzomyia intermedia, sensu; Young and Duncan), occurred
in signiÞcantly higher numbers in the peridomiciliary environment than compared with the forested
environment. Our results highlight the importance of conservation in the forest remains of the
National Monument of Pontões Capixabas, because of higher species richness and diversity. Furthermore,
theyindicate the epidemiological role of Lu. longipalpis as the vector of Leishmania infantum
within the study area, and the no evident role of Mg. migonei. | pt_BR |
