In order to collect information on the role of Lutzomyia ayacuchensis in the transmission of leishmaniasis in a newly discovered Andean endemic focus in Ecuador, a longitudinal field study was carried out over 13 months. Monthly dissections were made of a minimum of 200 anthropophilic sandflies, collected at night during the month. A total of 2600 flies was separated from a small number of Lu. osornoi, another anthropophilic species in the area, and dissected; 95 (3.65%) were naturally infected with Leishmania mexicana promastigotes. The parasites were always located in the sandfly midgut. The current study revealed a marked monthly variation both in natural infections with Leishmania and in biting activity of sandflies in the endemic area, demonstrating a high transmission rate during the period from the early rainy season to the early or mid dry season (February to July).
