| Abstract | One strategy to identify transmission foci is based on vector monitoring, and efficient methods are important for vector control. Our study evaluated different light sources (red, green, ultraviolet, blue, and incandescent light) to capture sand fly in Porto Velho, Brazil. We also evaluated Leishmania and blood meal sources in females. A total of 1,943 individuals were identified in 45 species level-taxa, with Trichophoromyia ubiquitalis (Mangabeira) (n = 364), Nyssomyia antunesi (n = 241), Bichromomyia flaviscutellata (Mangabeira) (n = 222), and Psychodopygus davisi (Root) (n = 148) being the most abundant. Incandescent light captured most individuals (n = 589), followed by blue (n = 471), green (n = 452), ultraviolet (n = 281) and red (n = 150). No significant difference was observed between the species composition and lights (PERMANOVA: Pseudo F = 1.29, p = 0.14, NMDS: Stress 0.18). The Shannon and Simpson indices demonstrated a high diversity captured using all lights. Our data demonstrated that LEDs are alternative devices for sand fly capture, with blue and green LEDs presenting similar results to incandescent light. 53 pools were analyzed, only one pool was positive for kDNA and hsp70 targets [Nyssomyia fraihai (Martins, Falão & Silva)] and identified as Endotrypanum spp., suggesting that other trypanosomatids may circulate in the locality. Choloepus hoffmanni (two-toed sloth) Peters, Homo sapiens Linnaeus, Proechimys gardneri (Gardner's spiny rat) Da Silva, and Tamandua tetradactyla (lesser anteater) (Linnaeus) were blood meal sources identified in females, increasing the knowledge about sources used by these insects. | en_US |
