Abstract

Phlebotomine sandflies have considerable importance in the transmission of the etiological agents of diseases, such as bartonellosis, arboviruses, and especially visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, diseases present in the city of Goiás. In order to know the population of sand flies in this locality, collections of these insects have been taken in the urban area of the city of Goiás. CDC traps were placed throughout the urban area between September 2012 and August 2013, in the last weekend of each month, for three consecutive nights. In addition to capturing insects, we collected humidity, precipitation and temperature data. The results obtained through Pearson test showed a weak relationship between the amount of gathered sand flies with humidity. A total of 342 sand flies were collected, belonging to eight species: Lutzomyia longipalpis, Nyssomyia whitmani, Nyssomyia intermedia, Evandromyia lenti, Psathyromyia shannoni, Micropygomyia peresi, Evandromyia bacula and Micropygomyia goiana. This is the first record of Ev. bacula, Mi. peresi and Mi. goiana to the city of Goiás.
