The Zumba focus of tegumentary leishmaniasis lies in the southwards Amazonian region of Ecuador. A clinico-epidemiological study has been carried out in the area on 83 patients attending health centers. All the biotopes suitable for sandflies, including dwellings, have been sampled from February to September 1992 by light trap and human bait catches. The number of sandflies caught amounts to 2,547. Anthropophilic sandfly fauna is poor and only three species have been recorded. Lutzomyia serrana abounds inside dwellings where it bites men even during daytime. The parasite was identified as an intermediate form between Leishmania panamensis and L. braziliensis. It will be described elsewhere. The high proportion of facial lesions suggests a domiciliary transmission for which Lu. serrana could be a good vector candidate.
皮肤利什曼病的舞伴舞焦点位于厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区南部。已对该地区前往健康中心就诊的83名患者进行了临床流行病学研究。1992年2月至9月期间，使用诱虫灯和人饵诱捕法对包括住所在内的所有适合白蛉生存的生物群落进行了采样。捕获的白蛉数量达2547只。嗜人白蛉种类较少，仅记录到三种。 Serrana 白蛉在住所内大量存在，甚至在白天也会叮咬人类。该寄生虫被鉴定为巴拿马利什曼原虫和巴西利什曼原虫之间的中间形态。将在其他地方进行描述。面部病变的高比例表明存在家庭传播， Serrana 白蛉可能是一个很好的病媒候选者。
