In South America, the main sand fly species involved in the transmission of Leishmania infantum chagasi (Cunha & Chagas, 1937), etiological agent of the visceral leishmaniasis (VL), is Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912). The species has been recorded in Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil, where it is recorded in 24 of the 27 Brazilian states, except Acre, Amazonas, and Santa Catarina. Collections were carried out for one year (April 2013 to March 2014) using modified CDC light traps in different environments in Assis Brasil municipality, state of Acre. Two males of Lu. longipalpis were found in peridomiciliary location in a peri-urban area. This is the first record of the species in Acre. This finding may be considered by the health agencies located in the trinational frontier, and new collections are needed to evaluate the real distribution of the species.
在南美洲,参与传播婴儿利什曼原虫恰加斯亚种(Cunha & Chagas,1937年)(内脏利什曼病的病原体)的主要白蛉种类是长须罗蛉(Lutzomyia longipalpis)(Lutz & Neiva,1912年)。该物种已在哥伦比亚、委内瑞拉、玻利维亚、阿根廷、巴拉圭、乌拉圭和巴西有记录,在巴西27个州中的24个州有记录,除了阿克里州、亚马孙州和圣卡塔琳娜州。于2013年4月至2014年3月期间,在阿克里州阿西斯·巴西市的不同环境中使用改良的疾控中心诱蚊灯捕器进行了为期一年的采集。在一个城郊地区的住家周围地点发现了两只长须罗蛉雄性个体。这是该物种在阿克里州的首次记录。位于三国边境地区的卫生机构可能会考虑这一发现,并且需要进行新的采集以评估该物种的实际分布情况。
