We report the results of control measures introduced to reduce the density of sand flies in domiciles and subsequent monitoring of the effects of these measures on the sand fly populations. The most common species of sand flies were Nyssomyia neivai and Nyssomyia whitmani, which are naturally infected by Leishmania. A total of 268,382 (93.4%) sand flies were collected in ecotypes constructed with the aim of attracting sand flies, and 19,091 (6.6%) sand flies were collected in the ecotypes consisting of residences and other buildings. Human actions determine the growth or reduction of the sand fly population in human-occupied space. Understanding the dynamics of sand flies in this environment can substantially contribute to the prevention of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
我们报告了为降低住家白蛉密度而采取的控制措施的结果，以及随后对这些措施对白蛉种群影响的监测情况。最常见的白蛉种类是内氏纳氏白蛉和惠特曼纳氏白蛉，它们自然感染利什曼原虫。在以吸引白蛉为目的构建的生态类型中，共收集到268,382只（93.4%）白蛉，在由住宅和其他建筑物组成的生态类型中收集到19,091只（6.6%）白蛉。人类活动决定了人类居住空间中白蛉种群的增长或减少。了解这种环境中白蛉的动态变化可极大地有助于预防皮肤利什曼病。
