Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the distribution of sand fly species in iron ore caves in the State of Para, Brazil and to associate the richness and abundance of these insects with the capacity of leishmaniasis transmission. Entomological captures were carried out in the years 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015, throughout active samples with brushes, along the entire caves’ extension, in dry and rainy periods. A total of 9,807 sand flies were counted during the 532 samplings events, being 4,340 in the dry period and 5,467 in the rainy period. A random sample of 802 morphologically identified specimens consisted of 8 genera and 17 species, being 369 males (46%) and 433 females (54%). The predominant species was Sciopemyia sordellii with 60.6% of the total of sand flies collected. Differences in composition and richness were observed between caves located inside of forest and anthropized areas. The mean richness and abundance were different between the wet and rainy periods, with a greater abundance of these insects in the rainy period. The phlebotomine fauna proved to be rich and abundant in the sampled caves, however, environmental degradation seems to be the main factor determining changes in the composition and richness, reinforces the importance of these places as a shelter for sand flies in degraded areas.

来自巴西帕拉州铁矿石洞穴的Phlebotomine沙蝇（双翅目，Psychodidae）

本研究旨在评估巴西帕拉州铁矿洞穴中沙蝇物种的分布，并将这些昆虫的丰富度和丰度与利什曼病的传播能力联系起来。2010年、2013年、2014年和2015年，在干旱和雨季，用刷子对整个洞穴的延伸部分的活动样本进行了昆虫学捕获。在532次采样活动中，共统计到9807只沙蝇，其中4340只在旱季，5467只在雨季。802个形态鉴定标本的随机样本包括8属17种，其中雄性369个（46%），雌性433个（54%）。优势种为Sciopemyia sordellii，占采集到的沙蝇总数的60.6%。在森林内部的洞穴和人类活动区之间观察到了成分和丰富度的差异。雨季和雨季的平均丰富度和丰度不同，雨季这些昆虫的丰度更高。事实证明，采样洞穴中的静脉动物群丰富多彩，然而，环境退化似乎是决定组成和丰富度变化的主要因素，这加强了这些地方作为退化地区沙蝇庇护所的重要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
