American tegumentary leishmaniasis is endemic to the Espírito SantoNorthern Espírito Santo was covered by Atlantic Forest until the mid-20 th century, and American tegumentary leishmaniasis does not appear to have constituted a serious public health problem for the original settlers. Furthermore, there are no records of cases of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis resulting from old infections with Leishmania braziliensis in the region.Beginning in the 1980s, the suspension of insecticide use for malaria control may have favored invasion of houses by sand flies and coincided with the appearance of the first American tegumentary leishmaniasis cases in northern Espírito Santo. The study area was selected in order to obtain information to help elucidate the American tegumentary leishmaniasis epidemiological profile in the region, where human cases have been observed for about 20 years. A total of 2,132 cases were reported from 1986 to 2003 5 .NOTA RESEARCH NOTE

in Brazil -Emerging Anthropozoonosis and Possibilities for Their Control. Cad. Saúde Públ., Rio de Janeiro, 10 (supplement 2): [359][360][361][362][363][364][365][366][367][368][369][370][371][372][373][374][375] 1994. The existence of a number of different species of Leishmania, the persistent increase in the infection rate of diseases caused by this parasite (tegumentary and visceral forms), the different epidemiological situations found in regions of both recent and older colonization, and the trend towards urbanization have led to the adoption of different strategies to control leishmaniases in Brazil. The control measures involve studies related to the parasite, vectors, sources of infection (animal and human), clinical aspects, geographical distribution, historical and socioeconomic factors, integration of health services, and adequate technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and immunoprophylaxis. Finally, successful control requires work with human communities, involving education, provision of information, health promotion, and participation of these communities in the planning, development, and maintenance of control programs.

Em função das modificações ambientais impostas pelo homem, estes insetos vêm se adaptando a ambientes rurais e periurbanos (Lima, 1986;Brazil et al, 1989 O presente trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer a fauna de flebotomíneos em sete bairros de Timóteo, utilizando para isso armadilha luminosa de New Jersey.…”
