ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background:
Here, Leishmania presence in sand flies from Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, after visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was investigated.Methods:
In April 2022, two light traps were deployed within and around the residence for two days post-VL case report.Results:
A total of 120 Lutzomyia longipalpis were collected. Suprapyloric flagellates were found in a female sand fly with eggs and residual blood during midgut dissection. Sequencing of ITS1 and cytb fragments confirmed Leishmania infantum DNA and identified Homo sapiens as the blood source, respectively.Conclusions:
This study emphasizes the importance of monitoring sand flies in VL endemic areas.
