Flebotomíneos de Timóteo, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Abstract

Sporadic cases of tegumentary leishmaniasis have occurred in Timóteo, Minas GeraisState, basically among the rural population. In order to study the region's sand fly population, New Jersey light traps were set in seven different neighborhoods. Specimens were gathered from June through October 1994, December 1994, and January through March 1995

Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in an Endemic Area of Leishmaniasis in Aquidauana Municipality, Pantanal of Mato Grosso Do Sul , Brazil

“…Sand flies are found in different climate conditions, in the wild, rural areas and often urban centers 4 , 20 , 21 , 22 . Therefore, studies regarding the fauna of these insects and their behavior are determinant aspects in the epidemiology of leishmaniasis.…”

Primeiro registro de Nyssomyia yuilli yuilli (Young & Porter) e de Trichopygomyia longispina (Mangabeira) (Diptera: Psychodidae) no estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil

“…Trichopygomyia longispina tem sido encontrada freqüentemente em estudos da fauna flebotomínica em estados vizinhos ( Andrade Filho et al 1997, Saraiva et al 2006) e o registro da espécie no estado do Espírito Santo foi tardio, possivelmente pelos hábitos silvestres e a baixa densidade do inseto. Esses registros de ocorrência aumentam a área de distribuição dessas espécies, além de ser o primeiro registro de ocorrência do gênero Trichopygomyia para o estado.…”

Some Psychodidae (Diptera) from Atlantic Forest in South-Eastern Brazil, with descriptions of Trichomyia dolichopogon sp. nov. and Trichomyia riodocensis sp. nov.

“…were collected ( Table 2). Nine of these had previously been collected using CDC light traps in the municipality of Timóteo (Andrade Filho et al, 1997). The three new records are discussed below.…”

“…At least 195 species of the genus Lutzomyia occur in Brazil (Young & Duncan, 1994), of which 18 were captured by Andrade Filho et al (1997) in the municipality of Timóteo, located at the edge of Parque Estadual do Rio Doce. Two of these species (Lu.…”

“…and angico-branco (Imperata brasiliensis). No information is available on the psychodid fauna of the park, other than the sampling survey carried out by Andrade Filho et al (1997) in Timóteo. The principal objectives of the present study were to collect specimens of the subfamilies Psychodinae and Phlebotominae and compare the faunae of these groups in two sections of the park, one of which had been destroyed by fire in 1967 and subsequently regenerated while the other remained unaffected by human activities.…”
