Abstract | Sandflies are nematocerous dipterans that present significant diversity and geographic distribution and are responsible for the
transmission of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In Brazil, leishmaniases is emerging and is undergoing a clear geographic
expansion, marked in all geographic regions. In recent decades, the state of Tocantins has reported human cases of visceral
and tegumentary leishmaniasis and, in this context, knowledge about the composition of the sandfly fauna and distribution
of these dipterans can contribute to surveillance and control actions. Monthly captures with CDC light traps (model HP)
were carried out during 42 months in four monitoring stations (EM), two in the urban area and two in the rural area of the
municipality of Araguaína, located in the northern region of Tocantins. A total of 8,518 sandflies, belonging to 37 species, were
captured and the presence of five potential vectors of Leishmania spp., Lutzomyia longipalpis, Bichromomyia flaviscutellata,
Psychodopygus ayrozai, Nyssomyia whitmani and Nyssomyia antunesi were detected. The analysis of ISA and SISA revealed that
Evandromyia bourrouli, Evandromyia carmelinoi, Nyssomyia antunesi, Nyssomyia whitmani and Evandromyia walkeri were the
most abundant species and the six species showed significant correlation between the sandflies captured with meteorological
variables of up to four months. | en_US |
