| Abstract | Lutzomyia longipalpis s.l. (Lutz & Neiva) (Diptera: Psychodidae) is the
main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Latin America. Differences in copulation songs,
pheromones and molecular markers show that L. longipalpis is a species complex in
Brazil. The patterns of activity of insect vectors are important in disease transmission.
In addition, differences in activity rhythms have a potential role as a temporal reproductive
isolation mechanism in closely related species. We compared the activity patterns
of males and females of two sympatric species of the Longipalpis complex from Sobral
(Ceará State, Brazil) in controlled laboratory conditions. We observed small but significant
differences between the two species in the activity phase in both males and
females. | pt_BR |
