Abstract:

introduction: in the last decades, a considerable geographic expansion of the leishmaniases in all regions of brazil has been observed. the present study was carried out to identify the composition of the phlebotomine sandfly fauna and verify the seasonal variation of the main species after environmental changes occurred in s?o vicente férrer municipality, state of pernambuco, brazil. methods: captures were carried out during four consecutive nights of each month using centers for disease control and prevention light traps from september 2009 to september 2010. the correlation between the number of phlebotomine sandflies captured and climatic factors (temperature and rainfall) was evaluated. results: a total of 13,872 specimens belonging to 20 species were captured, of which, 6,247 (45%) were females, and 7,625 (55%) were males. lutzomyia migonei was the most abundant species with 9,964 (71.8%) specimens, being predominant in the intradomicile and peridomicile areas with 108 (86.4%) and 9,746 (97%), respectively. in the forest remnants, lutzomyia complexa 2,395 (65%) and lutzomyia sordellii 770 (20.8%) predominated. the correlation analysis between the total number of sandflies captured and climatic factors did not show a significant influence on population density. conclusions: the high abundance of lutzomyia migonei and lutzomyia complexa indicates the possibility of new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl).
