Studies on Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) in the Campus FIOCRUZ Mata Atlântica, Jacarepaguá, in the City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Abstract: Introduction:The presence of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in the communities of the Campus FIOCRUZ Mata Atlântica (CFMA) in the City of Rio de Janeiro initiated the investigation of the Phlebotominae fauna in the Atlantic Forest to determine the occurrence of putative ACL vectors associated with the enzootic cycle. Methods: For 24 consecutive months, sand fl ies were captured inside the forest and in the border area near the communities. Results: The following sand fl y species were identifi ed: Brum… Show more

“…Infection by Leishmania sp. was observed in only one rodent species, but it is worth mentioning that there are human and canine cases of Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in the area [25][26][27], demonstrating the risk of occurrence of mixed infections by distinct trypanosomatid parasites (as observed in the local fauna), also in humans. All these factors may favor the establishment of zoonotic transmission involving some of these trypanosomatids, and highlight the importance of long term monitoring of zoonosis in wild and synanthropic reservoirs in the region.…”

“…In EFMA, infections by trypanosomatids were described in different hosts, such as bats, dogs, marsupials, and humans [17,25,27,29]. Remarkably, two new Trypanosoma species were described in this area-T. janseni and Trypanosoma caninum, [17,29]-showing that this area, although relatively small, may still present unknown trypanosomatid diversity.…”

“…whitmani related to the periurban, more relatively homogeneous landscape, by ZINB modeling only show association in the count component at the mesoscale with vegetation coverage and garbage collection and at the microscale with two sources of blood, poultry and humans. Therefore, [64][65][66][67], while in other regions the species is well adapted to urban environments. However, this species may actually represent a complex of cryptic species with different degrees of adaptation to anthropized environments [68,69].…”
