“…The fact that the urban area possesses some rural characteristics, such as livestock and subsistence crops, probably led to it having the largest number of insects collected. Some authors emphasize the importance of pigsties or chicken coops as risk factors because they serve as locations for the creation and maintenance of a high density of phlebotomines [ 32 – 35 ]. The greatest diversity (H) in the transitional area can also be explained by the fact, that it is located between the forest and the urban environment.…”

BackgroundPhlebotomines are directly related to the study of leishmaniases, and so the study of their distribution plays an important role in the epidemiology of these diseases. Collections of phlebotomines were made with the intent of comparing the distribution, richness, diversity, and abundance of species in three distinct environments in an area endemic for tegumentary and visceral leishmaniasis in Minas Gerais State, Brazil.MethodsPhlebotomines were collected with automatic light traps in urban, transitional, and wild areas from March 2013 to February 2014 in the district of Barra do Guaicuí, municipality of Várzea da Palma, Minas Gerais. The distribution patterns of these species of insects, as well as species richness, evenness, and abundance among the different areas, were analyzed.ResultsA total of 3,365 phlebotomines belonging to 15 species were collected. The urban area had the greatest abundance whereas the transitional area had the greatest diversity and evenness of species. Nyssomyia intermedia was the most abundant species in the urban area, whereas Evandromyia evandroi was the most abundant in the transitional area and Ev. lenti in the wild area.ConclusionThe analysis of our results showed that the distribution of the collected species had distinct profiles between the environments studied. Furthermore our study indicates the potential risk of transmission of leishmaniasis in the urban environment where it was observed had the highest population density and abundance of important vector species of Leishmania.

Objective: Describe the characteristics of the environment that influence the development of sand flies, and compile information about the integrative taxonomy of these insects. Bibliographic review: Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) are insects, some species of which are involved in the transmission of neglected diseases such as leishmaniasis. Thus, greater attention must be paid to ecological factors and anthropogenic changes, as they have a direct influence on the presence of the vector and the adaptation of species, favoring changes in the sylvatic cycle of the disease and consequently promoting an increase in reported cases of the disease. Traditional taxonomic identification of these insects is done by analyzing morphological characters, but the use of DNA sequences has been used by researchers as an integrative approach, since molecular techniques provide reliable, fast and efficient identifications as well as the elucidation of species complexes and the discovery of new taxa, and there are good reference sequences for many species. Final considerations: Therefore, it is crucial to understand the diversity and bioecology of vectors, including integrative taxonomy, to understand and support future research to help control leishmaniasis.
