| Abstract | Lutzomyia longipalpis s.l. is a complex of sibling species and is the principal vector of American visceral leishmaniasis.
The present review summarises the diversity of efforts that have been undertaken to elucidate the number
of unnamed species in this species complex and the phylogenetic relationships among them. A wide variety of
evidence, including chemical, behavioral and molecular traits, suggests very recent speciation events and complex
population structure in this group. Although significant advances have been achieved to date, differential vector
capacity and the correlation between structure of parasite and vector populations have yet to be elucidated. Furthermore,
increased knowledge about recent epidemiological changes, such as urbanisation, is essential for pursuing
effective strategies for sandfly control in the New World. | pt_BR |
