Leishmaniose tegumentar americana na Ilha Grande. Rio de Janeiro: V. Observações sobre a biologia dos transmissores em condiçoes naturais
TLDR
During an outbreak of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in Praia Vermelha, Ilha Grande (Great Island) in the county of Angra dos Reis, State of Rio de Janeiro, 4.192 species of Phlebotomus were collected in domestic and wild environment with the use of animal baits and other natural shelters from January 1976 to April 1977, and the Lutzomyia intermedia and L. migonei were incriminate as the probable vectors.Abstract:
During an outbreak of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in Praia Vermelha, Ilha Grande (Great Island) in the county of Angra dos Reis, State of Rio de Janeiro, 4.192 species of Phlebotomus were collected in domestic and wild environment with the use of animal baits and other natural shelters from January 1976 to April 1977. In a total of 11 species collected, 2.493 samples of Lutzomyia intermedia, 1.594 of Lutzomyia migonei and 105 samples of other species were found. The Lutzomyia intermedia presented a higher density in human dwellings, while the Lutzomyia migonei presented better results with animal baits and chicken-coops. The sinantropism and high density found in the houses incriminate the species L. intermedia and L. migonei as the probable vectors of Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis in Ilha Grande.read more

TL;DR: The detection of leishmaniases transmission and potential vectors in Ilha Grande is of public health concern, especially because tourists are frequently visiting the island and the human autochthonous case of visceral leish maniasis from the island is confirmed.

Preliminary results of a project about the ecology of Phlebotomus vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the state of Bahia
TL;DR: Most of the hundreds sandflies collected during the second year of observations, remains preserved in liquid nitrogen, watching for the adjustment of PCR molecular techniques to be processed for determination of the vector natural infection rates with leishmanias.

Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae) from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil: species distribution and potential vectors of leishmaniases
TL;DR: The present work describes the results of sand fly captures performed by the Health Department of Rio de Janeiro State between 2009 and 2011 in several municipalities and provides an updated species list and distribution of phlebotomine sand flies in the state.

Environmental Changes and the Geographic Spreading of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Brazil
TL;DR: In this article, the authors predict that vector-borne diseases are particularly susceptible to environmental changes, since their occurrence depends on the ecological balance between different species in complex transmission cycles, and one of the expected impacts is the expansion of its geographical distribution.

TL;DR: A trap for Phlebotomine sandflies attracted to a small mammal placed in a cage incorporated in the trap was developed in British Honduras for the purpose of studying the sandfly attracted to proven or possible hosts of leishmania, other than man.
