| Abstract | The article discusses habits related to the vectorial
competence of Lutzomyia longipalpis, along
with evidence confirming the importance of this
sand fly species in the epidemiological chain of
visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil. A new epidemiological
profile for visceral leishmaniasis is also
postulated, associated with domestic environments
and the role of Lu. longipalpis in this process,
its sylvatic origin, and its capacity to adapt
to a wide range of habitats. Another sand fly species,
Lu. cruzi, is mentioned as a vector of visceral
leishmaniasis in some municipalities in Central
Brazil, based on studies in endemic areas of the
country. | pt_BR |
