The epidemiology of nbsp American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis nbsp ACL is driven by the presence of vectors infecting humans with Leishmania spp parasites in this way sand flies regarding to Lutzomyiagenera The emergence and re emergence of this disease around the world calls for studies to identify geographical distribution of vectors and reservoir species associated with zoonotic transmission of the parasite Although cases of ACL have been reported in Lavras Minas Gerais State Brazil the epidemiological aspects of the disease remain unknown In this way an entomological survey of phlebotomine sand flies was carried out in the city aiming at detecting the presence of potential vectors HP traps light were able to capture a sample of phlebotomines composed of Nyssomyia whitmani Antunes amp Coutinho in the peridomiciliary of both urban and rural area In other hand Pintomyia fischeri Pinto andL shannoni Dyar were collected just in the rural area of the municipality Despite the low densities found this is the first report of N whitmani the main vector of ACL and P fischeri a potential vector of ACL in the municipality of Lavras The present record not only contributes to our knowledge of the geographical distribution of sand flies but can also be used to understanding of the epidemiological aspects of the Leishmaniatransmission that can be used to design better vector control strategies to mitigate the incidence of ACL in endemic areas |
