“…Although it is considered the main transmitting species of L. infantum in the Americas, in some regions, positive human and dog cases have been verified in areas without L. longipalpis, as is the case in Jaciara, Mato Grosso, where the species L. cruzi seems to be mainly responsible for cycle transmission (Missawa et al 2011), and in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, where L. cruzi was identified as a vector of L. infantum (Oliveira et al 2016). In addition, there is strong evidence that other species, such as Migonemyia migonei (França, 1920), Pintomyia fischeri (Pinto, 1926), Lutzomyia gaminarai (Cordero et al 1928) and Nyssomyia intermedia (Lutz & Neiva, 1912), play a role in the transmission of L. infantum in some areas (Carvalho et al 2010, Saraiva et al 2010, Brasil 2014, Moya et al 2015, Galvis-Ovallos et al 2017, Castro et al 2019, 2020, Galvis-Ovallos et al 2021, Milagres et al 2022.…”
