- Abstract
This is the first report of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912), L. shannoni (Dyar, 1929), L. micropyga (Mangabeira, 1942) and L. atroclavata (Knab, 1913) in the surroundings of an urban settlement in the Caribbean coast. Phlebotomine sandflies were collected by active search using suction devices and mouth aspirators in trees around the city of Sincelejo, the capital of the department of Sucre. Epidemiological importance derived from this finding is discussed due to the vectorial capacity of L. longipalpis, the natural vector of Leishmania infantum Nicolle, 1908 in America.
