Sandflies attracted by human bait were caught in an endemic focus of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis in the state of Campeche, Mexico. Catches were carried out monthly from February 1994 to January 1995 between 18:00 and 22:00 h. Lutzomyia cruciata was the only species caught. The highest population peak of Lu. cruciata was found in March with lesser peaks in February, December 1994, and January 1995. Maximum biting rate of Lu. cruciata was found between 18:00 and 19:00 h. The host-seeking females of Lu. cruciata were directly related to levels of humidity between 88 and 100%. Low and high temperature had a negative effect upon Lu. cruciata activity. The possible role of Lu. cruciata as vector of leishmaniasis in the state of Campeche, Mexico is discussed.
在墨西哥坎佩切州局部皮肤利什曼病的一个流行区，用人体诱饵诱捕白蛉。于1994年2月至1995年1月期间，每月18:00至22:00进行诱捕。仅捕获到了克氏罗蛉这一物种。克氏罗蛉的种群数量最高峰出现在3月，2月、1994年12月和1995年1月有较小的峰值。克氏罗蛉的最大叮咬率出现在18:00至19:00之间。克氏罗蛉的宿主搜寻雌蛉与88%至100%的湿度水平直接相关。低温和高温对克氏罗蛉的活动有负面影响。讨论了克氏罗蛉在墨西哥坎佩切州作为利什曼病传播媒介的可能作用。
