Lutzomyia verrucarum (Townsend, 1913) (Diptera: Psychodidae); the natural vector of Bartonella bacilliformis, agent of human bartonellosis (peruvian verruga or Carrion's disease), is a native species of Peru; its geographic distribution occurrs between latitudes 5 degrees and 13 degrees 25' South: in the Occidental and Interandean valleys of the Andean. The altitudinal distribution of Lu. verrucarum in the different valleys is as follows: Occidental between 1100 and 2980 m sea level and Interandean from 1200 to 3200 m sea level. Some discrepancies between the distribution of Carrion's disease and Lu. verrucarum suggest the existence of secondary vectors in certain areas where Lu. verrucarum is not present.
疣足白蛉（汤森，1913年）（双翅目：毛蠓科）；人类巴尔通体病（秘鲁疣或卡里翁病）病原体——杆菌状巴尔通体的天然传播媒介，是秘鲁本土物种；其地理分布在南纬5度至13度25分之间：位于安第斯山脉的西部和山间谷地。不同谷地中疣足白蛉的海拔分布如下：西部谷地在海平面1100至2980米之间，山间谷地在海平面1200至3200米之间。卡里翁病的分布与疣足白蛉的分布之间存在一些差异，这表明在某些没有疣足白蛉的地区存在次要传播媒介。
