The American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is expanding in peri-urban environments.
An entomological survey was conducted in the area of the occurrence of an autochthonous urban case of ACL. Sandflies and a parasitological slide of the human case were submitted for molecular diagnosis.
Nyssomyia whitmani and Ny. antunesi were the most frequently collected species. Ny. whitmani and Bichromomyia flaviscutellata were positive for Leishmania guyanensis and L. lainsoni, respectively. The human case tested positive for L. lainsoni.
Sandflies and Leishmania parasites present in urban forest may occur frequently in nearby domiciliary environments; thus, these areas must be monitored.
美国皮肤利什曼病（ACL）正在城市周边环境中蔓延。
在发生本土城市 ACL 病例的地区进行了一项昆虫学调查。对沙蝇和人类病例的寄生虫学幻灯片进行了分子诊断。
最常采集到的物种是 Whitmani 新沙蝇和 Antunesi 新沙蝇。Whitmani 新沙蝇和 Bichromomyia flaviscutellata 分别对 Leishmania guyanensis 和 L. lainsoni 呈阳性。人类病例检测出 L. lainsoni 呈阳性。
城市森林中存在的沙蝇和利什曼原虫寄生虫可能经常出现在附近的家庭环境中；因此，必须对这些区域进行监测。
