A study about the horizontal stratification of the sand fly fauna in two distinct ecosystems, caatinga area, endemic for visceral leishmaniasis, and the tropical rain forest area, endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis, was performed in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Lutzomyia longipalpis was predominant in the caatinga, and following it came the species L. capixaba and L. oswaldoi. In the tropical rain forest other species were found, such as L. intermedia, L. migonei, L. whitmani, L. yuilli, L.fischeri, L. damascenoi, L. evandroi, L. monticola, and L. lenti. It was found that the geographical limits of the vector species of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis are clearly defined by the biological and phytogeographic characteristics.
在巴西巴伊亚州开展了一项关于两个不同生态系统中白蛉动物区系水平分层的研究，这两个生态系统分别是内脏利什曼病的流行地区卡廷加地区和皮肤利什曼病的流行地区热带雨林地区。长须罗蛉在卡廷加地区占主导地位，其次是卡皮克萨罗蛉和奥斯瓦尔多罗蛉。在热带雨林中发现了其他种类，如中间罗蛉、米戈内罗蛉、惠特曼罗蛉、尤伊利罗蛉、菲舍尔罗蛉、大马士革罗蛉、埃万德罗罗蛉、蒙蒂科拉罗蛉和伦蒂罗蛉。研究发现，内脏利什曼病和皮肤利什曼病病媒种类的地理界限由生物学和植物地理学特征明确界定。
