摘要
Introduction: Lutzomyia longipalpis is the main vector of Leishmania infantum chagasi in the Americas. Methods: Phlebotomine captures were conducted during 2008 and 2009 in a rural area endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis located in the municipality of Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro. Results: Among other species captured, we observed the presence of Lutzomyia longipalpis. Conclusions: This is the first report of the occurrence of Lutzomyia longipalpis in this region, demonstrating the potential risk of visceral leishmaniasis transmission in the coastal area of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, active vigilance by all municipalities in the area is necessary.
