The aim of this study was to identify the fauna of phlebotomine sandflies in an area with incidence of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) in São Vicente Férrer, a municipality (county) located in the northern Zona da Mata in Pernambuco State, Brazil. Sandfly captures were conducted monthly for four nights/month from December 2002 to November 2003, by means of manual captures (with a Shannon trap) and by CDC light traps. A total of 23,156 specimens of phlebotomines sandflies were collected in a remnant of the Atlantic rainforest, houses, and animal shelters. Lutzomyia complexa was the most prevalent species, with a frequency of 62.5% (14,445/23,156), followed by Lutzomyia migonei, with 33.2% (7,677/23,156). No Lutzomyia longipalpis (the main vector of Leishmania chagasi in Brazil and the Americas) was found in the target area. Some specimens were dissected, but no Leishmania parasites were found.
本研究旨在确定位于巴西伯南布哥州北部马塔地区的圣维森特费雷尔市（县）一个有美洲内脏利什曼病（AVL）发病情况的地区的白蛉种类。从2002年12月至2003年11月，每月进行4个晚上的白蛉捕捉，采用人工捕捉（使用香农诱捕器）和疾控中心灯光诱捕器。在大西洋雨林残余地、房屋和动物庇护所共采集到23,156只白蛉标本。复杂卢蛉是最常见的种类，频率为62.5%（14,445/23,156），其次是米氏卢蛉，频率为33.2%（7,677/23,156）。在目标地区未发现长须卢蛉（巴西和美洲恰加斯利什曼原虫的主要传播媒介）。解剖了一些标本，但未发现利什曼原虫寄生虫。
