Although cases of cutaneous Leishmaniasis have been reported in Brasilia - DF, its mode of transmission is still unknown. Center of Disease Control traps (CDC trap) placed around Sobradinho, a periurban area in the Brazilian Federal District, were able to capture a sample of phlebotomines composed of 89% Lutzomyia whitmani, 7% Lu. bacula, and 3% Lu. davisi specimens. Being of 77% of these specimens were captured in peridomiciliary. PCR analyses showed that the specimens were negative for Leishmania DNA. However, the high prevalence of Lu. Whitmani in the studied region suggests that it may be the main vector for the transmission of Leishmaniasis in peridomiciliary areas in the studied region.
尽管巴西利亚联邦区已报告有皮肤利什曼病病例,但其传播方式仍不明。在巴西联邦区的一个城郊地区索布拉迪纽周围设置的疾病控制中心诱捕器(疾控中心诱捕器),捕获了一批白蛉样本,其中89%为惠氏罗蛉,7%为巴氏罗蛉,3%为戴维斯罗蛉。这些样本中有77%是在住家周围捕获的。聚合酶链反应分析显示,这些样本的利什曼原虫DNA呈阴性。然而,研究区域内惠氏罗蛉的高流行率表明,它可能是该研究区域住家周围地区利什曼病传播的主要媒介。
