Abstract
In South America, cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most frequent clinical form of leishmaniasis. Bolivia
is one of the countries with higher incidence, with 33 cases per 100,000 individuals, and the disease is
endemic in 70% of the territory. In the last decade, the number of cases has increased, the age range
has expanded, affecting children under 5 years old, and a similar frequency between men and women
is found. An entomological study with CDC light traps was conducted in three localities (Chipiriri, Santa
Elena and Pedro Domingo Murillo) of the municipality of Villa Tunari, one of the main towns in the
Chapare province (Department of Cochabamba, Bolivia). A total of 16 specimens belonging to 6 species
of the genus Lutzomyia were captured: Lu. aragaoi, Lu. andersoni, Lu. antunesi, Lu. shawi, Lu. yuilli yuilli
and Lu. auraensis. Our results showed the presence of two incriminated vectors of leishmaniasis in an
urbanized area and in the intradomicile. More entomological studies are required in the Chapare province
to confirm the role of vector sand flies, the intradomiciliary transmission of the disease and the presence
of autochthonous cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
