Abstract | Abstract: Sand flies are dipterans of medical importance, as some species are vectors of American
visceral leishmaniasis (AVL). The municipality of João Pessoa (Paraíba, northeastern Brazil), is an
endemic region for AVL, having high rates of human and canine cases. The main objective was
to evaluate the sand fly fauna among forest fragments and built areas, and its relationship with
environmental conditions. HP light traps were placed in the studied areas from March 2019 to
July 2021. A total of 2141 specimens of phlebotomines were captured, comprising nine genera
and ten species. Temperature and humidity were significant and positive only in built areas. The
diversity composition among forest fragments and built areas was different and the AVL vector,
Lutzomyia longipalpis, was the most prevalent species in built areas. The study showed that the built
areas present differences in their richness and diversity of sand flies in relation to forest fragments,
concluding that the conservation of forest areas, even if urban fragments, favors the diversity of
phlebotomine species. | en_US |
