Resumo: The American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) is caused by parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania (Trypanosomatidae) and is transmitted to humans through the bite of certain species of infected phlebotomine sand flies. In this study, we investigated the natural infection ratio of Lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector species of AVL in Brazil, in Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso State. Between July 2004 and June 2006, phlebotomine sand flies were captured in peridomestic areas using CDC light-traps. Four hundred and twenty (420) specimens of Lu. longipalpis were captured. 42 pools, containing 10 specimens of Lu. longipalpis each, were used for genomic DNA extraction and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification. Leishmania spp. DNA was detected in three out of the 42 pools tested, resulting in a minimal infection ratio of 0.71%. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis indicated that Leishmania (L.) chagasi was the infective agent in the positive pools.

Neste trabalho, investigamos o índice de infecção natural de Lutzomyia longipalpis, principal vetor da LVA no Brasil, em Várzea Grande, Estado do Mato Grosso. De julho de 2004 a junho de 2006, foram feitas capturas de flebotomíneos em áreas peridomésticas utilizando armadilhas de luz CDC. Foram capturadas 420 espécimens de Lu. longipalpis. Quarenta e dois grupos, formados por 10 espécimens de Lu. longipalpis cada um, foram submetidos à extração de DNA genômico e amplificação por PCR (reação em cadeia da polimerase). DNA de Leishmania spp. foi detectado em 3 dos 42 grupos testados, resultando em um índice mínimo de infecção de 0,71%. A análise de polimorfismos de fragmentos de restrição (RFLP) indicou Leishmania (L.) chagasi como a espécie infectante nos grupos positivos.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2010-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4251Reports in Public Health; Vol. 26 No. 12 (2010): DecemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 26 n. 12 (2010): Dezembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4251/8649https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4251/8650Missawa, Nanci A.Michalsky, Érika MonteiroFortes-Dias, Consuelo LatorreSantos Dias, Edelbertoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:04Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/4251Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:04:54.662597Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
