Flebotomíneos de localidades rurais no noroeste do Estado do Paraná, Brasil

Abstract

This study reports the results from sandfly captures at six sites in a rural area of Japurá, Paraná State, Brazil, showing the vector's presence indoors, outdoors, and A ocorrência de LTA em municípios do noroeste paranaense mostra a necessidade de estudos sobre o comportamento de flebotomíneos que possam nortear os trabalhos de controle desses insetos. Assim, os objetivos desta investigação foram conhecer a fauna, os ecótopos mais frequentados e o comportamento sazonal de flebotomíneos em localidades rurais, no Município de Japurá, Estado do Paraná. Material e métodosO Município de Japurá localiza-se entre 23º-24ºS e 52º-53ºO (Figura 1), no noroeste do Estado do Paraná, Brasil. O clima é subtropical, com temperatura média no mês mais frio inferior a 18º C e a temperatura média no mês mais quente acima de 22º C. A hidrografia faz parte da bacia do rio Ivaí e a vegetação é do tipo floresta estacional NOTA RESEARCH NOTE

Clinical, epidemiological and climatic factors related to the occurrence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in an endemic area in northeastern Brazil

“…However, it was also verified that these individuals executed activities in the agricultural sector, which shows that CL is an occupational disease. The incidence of new cases related to agricultural activity has been widely reported in epidemiological studies, reaffirming the high risk of acquiring the disease that the workers face when in contact with a wild environment, in which the exposure to the infected vector most frequently occurs (Martins et al, 2004;Cella et al, 2011).…”

Effect of vegetation on cutaneous leishmaniasis in Paraná, Brazil

“…In the areas of the state of Paraná where the native vegetation was replaced by coffee crops in the 1930s and 1950s as well as by soy, maize, or pasture crops more recently ( Lima et al 2002 , Monteiro et al 2008 , Monteiro et al 2009 ), domestic and wild animal infection due to Leishmania spp. ( Lonardoni et al 2006 , Membrive et al 2012 , Truppel et al 2014 ), the collection of sandflies in the residual forest areas ( Luz et al 2000 , Teodoro et al 2001 , Massafera et al 2005 , Cella et al 2011 , Cruz et al 2013 ) and recreational fishing activities ( Lima et al 2002 ) partly explain the higher incidence of CL cases in these areas. These studies in loco provide significant details about CL epidemiology.…”
