摘要
The results from an investigation on the possibility that sandflies in an endemic area for American cutaneous leishmaniasis, in the state of Parana, may have memory are reported. Sandflies were caught in Recanto Marista, Doutor Camargo, State of Parana, Brazil, using Falcao traps in two chicken sheds (G1 and G2), between November 15 and 26, 2007. A total of 2,080 sandflies were caught ( 1,000 in G1 and 1,080 in G2) and these were marked and released. Nyssomyia neivai was the most (90.5%) frequent species. Out of the total released, 168 sandflies (8%) were recaptured and the recapture rate in G2 was significant. The results show that it is possible that spatial or olfactory memory and/or host loyalty exists, and that this will guide the sandflies in recognizing the places where sources of blood are available.
