Sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis in a Cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in central Colombia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lutzomyia longipalpis, 15 other species of the genus Lutzomyia, and one species of Brumptomyia were collected in an endemic focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a river canyon 450 m above sea-level, in Rio Claro, Antioquia, Colombia. The presence of Lu. longipalpis is associated with the destruction of the primary forest and the development of new farmland and rural settlement in this region. The composition of species identified a different habitat for Lu. longipalpis in Colombia. Lu. yuilli and Lu. longipalpis were predominant (68.26%) followed by Lu. trapidoi, Lu. hartmani, Lu. triramula, Lu. panamensis, Lu. gomezi.

متن کاملSCIENTIFIC NOTE Presence of the Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Stimulates Burrowing Behavior by Larvae of the Sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) (Diptera: Psychodidae)
The sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) vectors leishmaniasis in the neotropics. Although much is known about the biology of adult flies, little is known about interactions with its natural enemies. Here, we examined behavior of larvae of L4 L. longipalpis on a soil substrate when exposed to the fire ant Solenopsis invicata (Westwood). When ants were absent, most larvae tended to remai...
