Abstract | The aim of the present study, in view of the widespread geographical distribution of Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia)
whitmani s.l. in Brazil, in close association with the regions of transmission of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis
and L. (V.) shawi, is to investigate the distribution of this sand fly species and American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in relationship to vegetation and landscape ecology throughout Brazil. Thematic maps were elaborated by the MapInfo programme, giving information on the spatial distribution of L. whitmani s.l., in accordance with types of vegetation and foci of ACL. With regards to the known areas of transmission of ACL in
Brazil, it is notable that L. (N.) whitmani s.l. occurs in most of them, where it has been implicated as a possible
vector of L. (V.) braziliensis. The presence of L. whitmani s.l. has been registered in 26 states, the one exception
being Santa Catarina; in some states such as Roraima, Acre, Tocantins, and Mato Grosso do Sul this sand fly
species has been recorded in a large number of municipalities. L. whitmani s.l. has been found in association
with a variety of vegetation types, including the Amazonian forest, savanna (“campos cerrados”), and northeastern savanna (“caatingas nordestinas” or “savana estépica”). | pt_BR |
