Lutzomyia longipalpis was recorded for the first time in Argentina in 2004, in the province of Formosa. In the following years, the vector spread to the south and west in the country and was recorded in the province of Chaco in 2010. From November 2010-May 2012, captures of Phlebotominae were made in the city of Resistencia and its surroundings, to monitor the spread and possible colonisation of Lu. longipalpis in the province of Chaco. In this monitoring, Lu. longipalpis was absent in urban sampling sites and its presence was restricted to Barrio de los Pescadores. This suggests that the incipient colonisation observed in 2010 was not followed by continuous installation of vector populations and expansion of their spatial distribution as in other urban centres of Argentina.
2004年，长须罗蛉首次在阿根廷福尔摩沙省被记录到。在接下来的几年里，这种病媒在该国向南和向西扩散，并于2010年在查科省被记录到。2010年11月至2012年5月，在雷西斯滕西亚市及其周边地区捕获了白蛉亚科昆虫，以监测长须罗蛉在查科省的扩散和可能的定殖情况。在这次监测中，城市采样点没有长须罗蛉，其存在仅限于渔民区。这表明，2010年观察到的初期定殖之后，并没有像阿根廷其他城市中心那样，病媒种群持续定居并扩大其空间分布。
