Publicación Acceso abierto Presence of Lutzomyia evansi, a vector of American visceral leishmaniasis, in an urban area of the Colombian Caribbean coast.(Londres, Reino Unido: Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene , 2001., 2019-10-31) Bejarano, Eduar Elias; Uribe, Sandra; Rojas, Winston; Iván Darío, Vélez; Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) is a potentially fatal disease of neotropical countries, chiefly affecting children aged under 5 years, caused by ~ishmania (Leishmanial &a& Cunha & Chapas. which is indisiinguishablk from the ‘Old World’ paiasite Le. (Le.) injuntum Nicolle, of which it may be a synonym. AVL is transmitted to human or other mammalian hosts by the bites of the phlebotomine sandflies Lutzanzyia (Lutzomy&z) Zongt$alpis (Lutz & Neiva) or Lmmnyiu (Lutzomyia) evami (Nufiez-Tovar) (GRIMALDI et al., 1989; TRAVI et al., 1996). Although Lu. longipalpis is the most widespread and important vector of AVL, Lu. evarnsi has been confirmed as a primary vector in rural areas of the Caribbean coast of Colombia and in some areas of Venezuela (AGUIUR et aE., 1995; MONTOYA, 1996; FEIJCLWGELI et al., 19991. While conducting entomological studies in the urbad area of Sincelejo &y (9’ 18’ N. 75” 25’ WI in northern Colombia. we found adults of Lzk. eeransi ih houses and in peridbmiciliary environments. This is the first record of Lu. evansi from an urban area in Colombia.Publicación Acceso abierto Subfamilia Trichomyiinae (Psychodidae) en el territorio continental e insular colombiano.(Bogotá, Colombia: Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2006., 2019-10-24) Bejarano, Eduar EliasThe subfamily Trichomyiinae is reported in the continental and insular territory of Colombia for the first time. A total of 111 males and 15 females of Trichomyia (Opisthotrichomyia) brevitarsa were captured using CDC light traps in tropical dry forests at the surroundings of the city of Sincelejo, department of Sucre, and Isla Fuerte, department of Bolivar. Collected psychodid flies exhibit all the morphological characteristics ofTr. brevitarsa, including the presence of sensory rods on the first and second palpomere. A high number of unidentified nematodes were observed in the abdomen of two of the females examined.
