The municipality of Ilhéus, State of Bahia, has a focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis where entomological studies were carried out to determine the sand fly species and their habits. Lutzomyia migonei, L. sallesi, L. tupynambai, L. schreiberi, L. intermedia, L. whitmani, L. yuilli yuilli, L. fischeri, L. pessoai, L. shannoni and L. misionensis were identified. Lutzomyia whitmani was the predominant species. Specimens were collected indoors, at peridomestic sites, in the cocoa plantations and in other types of collections. Females fed readily on humans and were attracted to domestic animals. Our evidence suggests that L. whitmani is a probable vector.
巴伊亚州伊列乌斯市是皮肤利什曼病的一个重点区域，在此开展了昆虫学研究以确定白蛉种类及其习性。已鉴定出米氏白蛉、萨氏白蛉、图皮南白蛉、施氏白蛉、中间白蛉、惠特曼白蛉、尤氏白蛉、费氏白蛉、佩索阿白蛉、香农白蛉和米西奥内斯白蛉。惠特曼白蛉是优势种。标本采集于室内、家畜圈舍周边、可可种植园及其他类型的采集点。雌蛉易于叮咬人类，并被家畜吸引。我们的证据表明，惠特曼白蛉可能是传播媒介。
