Resumo
Insects of Lutzomyia genus have considerable importance in the transmission of diseases
such as bartonellosis, arboviruses, and especially visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis,
both diseases present in the city of Goiás, place chosen to capture insects using CDC
traps during twelve months in order to study the existing population of sandflies. Traps
were placed throughout the urban area repeatedly for three nights in the last weekend of
each month between September 2012 and August 2013. At the same time of trapping
insects, relevant eco-epidemiological data were collected. After captures, all sandflies
were identified. Were encountered in the city of Goiás eight species, in a total of 370
captured. The species were: Lutzomyia longipalpis, Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia
intermédia, Lutzomyia lenti, Lutzomyia shannoni, Lutzomyia peresi, Lutzomyia baculus
and Lutzomyia goiana. The results obtained through analysis by Kruskal -Wallis test and
Poisson distribution showed significance for the relationship formed between the amount
of gathered sandflies with season and rural area characteristic. Although few sandflies
were obtained, the presence of female L. longipalpis was associated with the human and
canine visceral leishmaniasis cases.
