Flebotomíneos (Diptera: Psychodidae) em áreas de ocorrência de leishmaniose tegumentar americana no Distrito Federal, Brasil, 2006 a 2008
2010
Objetivo: conhecer a distribuicao geografica das especies de flebotomineos em areas de ocorrencia de leishmaniose tegumentar americana no Distrito Federal, com enfase para as especies vetoras. Metodologia: coletaram-se os flebotomineos com armadilha luminosa CDC, mensalmente durante 24 meses, por quatro noites consecutivas, em diferentes fitofisonomias de cerrado, em abrigo de animais e no intradomicilo. Resultados: identificou-se 17.737 especimes, distribuidos em 27 especies, pertencentes aos generos Brumptomyia e Lutzomyia. Destaca-se a identificacao das especies de importância medica: Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia intermedia, Lutzomyia neivai, Lutzomyia davisi, Lutzomyia flaviscutellata e Lutzomyia longipalpis. Conclusao: a especie Lutzomyia whitmani foi a mais frequente (75,9 por cento), seguida de Lu. longipalpis (8,76 por cento). A identificacao de mais duas especies vetoras, Lutzomyia neivai e Lutzomyia davisi auxilia no mapeamento das areas de risco a transmissao das Leishmanias. Objective: to know the geographic distribution of species of sand flies in areas with cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Brazilian Federal District. The study has been carried out with the objective of identifying the local fauna and acutaneous leishmaniasis vector. Methodology: sand flies were collected with CDC traps, in a monthly basis for four consecutive nights during two years, in the Cerrado vegetation, in animal shelters and in residences. Results: 17,737 specimens representing 27 species were captured: 2 species of Brumptomyia and 25 species of Lutzomyia. Species of medical interest were: Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia intermedia, Lutzomyia neivai, Lutzomyia davisi, Lutzomyia flaviscutellata and Lutzomyia longipalpis. Conclusion: the most frequent species were Lutzomyia whitmani (75.9 percent) and Lutzomyia longipalpis (8.76 percent). The identification of the two other vectors species (Lutzomyia neivai and Lutzomyia davisi) helps mapping areasof Leishmanias transmission in the Federal District.
