Resumen

CAZORLA, Dalmiro J.  y  MORALES, Pedro. Phlebotomine sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Falcon state, Venezuela. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp.75-80. ISSN 1727-9933.

Composition, abundance and dispersion of phlebotomine sandfly fauna were studied in Falcon state, Venezuelan north-western region. The sandflies were collected by five methods in 41 localities between 0 to 1584 m. A total of 6273 specimens were collected, 17 species of Lutzomyia and 1 of Brumptomyia were identified. Of these, 10(55.56%) species are known to be anthropophilic. The predominant species was L. evansi (52.37%). The diversity and dispersion range of sandflies along an altitudinal transect, are presented. The significance of sandfly fauna in the transmission of leishmaniases in the Falcon state region is discussed.

Palabras clave : Phlebotomine sanflies; Leishmaniasis; diversity; dispersion; epidemiology.
