In the present paper, we evaluate the relationship between climate variables and population density of Lutzomyia longipalpis in Montes Claros, an area of active transmission of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) in Brazil. Entomological captures were performed in 10 selected districts of the city, between September 2002-August 2003. A total of 773 specimens of L. longipalpiswere captured in the period and the population density could be associated with local climate variables (cumulative rainfall, average temperature and relative humidity) through a mathematical linear model with a determination coefficient (Rsqr) of 0.752. Although based on an oversimplified statistical analysis, as far as the vector is concerned, this approach showed to be potentially useful as a starting point to guide control measures for AVL in Montes Claros.
在本文中,我们评估了气候变量与巴西朗多尼亚州蒙蒂斯克拉鲁斯地区利什曼原虫种群密度之间的关系。该地区是美洲内脏利什曼病(AVL)的活跃传播区。2002 年 9 月至 2003 年 8 月期间,在该市的 10 个选定地区进行了昆虫学捕获。在此期间共捕获了 773 只利什曼原虫长角沙蝇,种群密度可通过一个决定系数(Rsqr)为 0.752 的数学线性模型与当地气候变量(累积降雨量、平均温度和相对湿度)相关联。尽管这种方法基于一种过于简化的统计分析,但就该媒介而言,它显示出作为指导蒙蒂斯克拉鲁斯 AVL 控制措施的起点具有潜在的用处。
