ABSTRACT

Between 1997-1998, the authors carried out sporadic collection of sand flies in the municipalities of Paraíso de Tocantins, Monte do Carmo, Porto Nacional and Monte Santo all in the Tocantins State of northern Brazil. Human bait was used in Monte Santo and a battery operated light trap in other municipalities. The ecotypes chosen for the traps were in the peridomiciles, inside the houses, in the forest and the orchard. We identified 2,677 sand flies, belonging to 32 species. The most abundant species of sand flies were Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia longipalpis, Lutzomyia carmelinoi, Lutzomyia evandroi, Lutzomyia longipennis and Lutzomyia antunesi. Collections from the forest showed greater diversity of species, while the largest number of sand flies were caught around the houses. Several species known or suspected to be vectors of Leishmania in other regions of Brazil were captured.


Nos anos de 1997 e 1998 realizaram-se capturas esporádicas de flebotomíneos nos municípios de Paraíso de Tocantins, Monte do Carmo, Porto Nacional e Monte Santo, todos localizados no estado de Tocantins, região norte do Brasil, com o intuito de conhecer a fauna flebotomínica da região. No município de Monte Santo utilizou-se isca humana e nos demais armadilhas luminosas CDC. Os ecótopos utilizados foram: peridomicílio, intradomicílio, mata e pomar. Foram capturados 2.677 flebotomíneos, pertencentes a 32 espécies. As mais freqüentes foram Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia longipalpis, Lutzomyia carmelinoi, Lutzomyia evandroi, Lutzomyia longipennis e Lutzomyia antunesi. As capturas na mata apresentaram maior diversidade de espécies, enquanto no peridomicílio houve maior número de exemplares capturados. Foram capturadas neste estado várias espécies vetoras em outras regiões do Brasil.
