Abstract
The seasonal distribution of Lutzomyia longipalpis was studied in two forested and five domiciliary areas of the urban area of Campo Grande;
MS, from December 2003 to November 2005.Weekly captures were carried out with CDC light traps positioned on ground and in the canopy inside
a residual forest and on the edge (ground) of a woodland and in at least one of the following ecotopes in peridomiciles—a cultivated area, a chicken
coop, a pigsty, a kennel, a goat and sheep shelter and an intradomicile. A total of 9519 sand flies were collected, 2666 during the first year and 6853
during the second. L. longipalpiswas found throughout the 2-year period, presenting smaller peaks at intervals of 2–3 months and two greater peaks,
the first in February and the second in April 2005, soon after periods of heavy rain. Only In one of thewoodlandswas a significant negative correlation
(p < 0.05) between the number of insects and temperature during the first year and the climatic factors (temperature, RHA and rain) was observed.
In the domiciliary areas in four domiciles some positive correlations (p≤0.05) occurred in relation to one or more climatic factors; however, the
species shows a clear tendency to greater frequency (72%) in the rainy season than in the dry (28%). Thus, we recommend an intensification of the
VL control measures applied in Campo Grande, MS, during the rainy season with a view to reducing the risk of the transmission of the disease.
