Abstract

ABSTRACT

The first report of Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) yuilli yuilli Young & Porter, 1972 (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Roraima State, Brazil is presented. The specimens were captured in the Auaris indigenous community, on the border with Venezuela, with CDC light traps set up in henhouses between 18 h and 6 h. L. yuilli yuilli is the only vector of Leishmania spp. currently known in Auaris and may be involved in the transmission of Leishmania spp. to humans in the area.
