Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from peridomestic environments at Los Amigos Biological Station, Madre de Dios, Peru
ABSTRACT Madre de Dios, a department in Peru, is an endemic area for cutaneous leishmaniasis, accounting for about 20% of the country’s annual leishmaniasis cases. In April 2023, phlebotomine sand flies were captured from the peridomicile areas of Los Amigos Biological Station, located within Madre...

| description | ABSTRACT Madre de Dios, a department in Peru, is an endemic area for cutaneous leishmaniasis, accounting for about 20% of the country’s annual leishmaniasis cases. In April 2023, phlebotomine sand flies were captured from the peridomicile areas of Los Amigos Biological Station, located within Madre de Dios, using a modified Katchy light trap. A total of 801 individuals belonging to 19 species were identified and categorized based on their vectorial potential. Notably, this study’s capture of a female Evandromyia andersoni marks the first report of this species in Peru. The most abundant species found were from the genera Psychodopygus (7 species), Trichophoromyia (3 species) and Nyssomyia (3 species), with several species likely involved in the transmission of leishmaniasis in the region. |
