Lutzomyia longipis 是婴儿利什曼原虫恰加斯 (美洲内脏利什曼病 (AVL) 的病原体）的主要媒介。尽管有强有力的证据表明卢。 longipalpis 是一个复杂的物种，并非所有有关巴西种群的数据都支持这一假设。对于大部分鲁国来说，这个问题仍然存在一些争议。 longipalpis 的分布范围，尽管大多数 AVL 病例是拉丁美洲地区造成的。在这篇简短的评论中，我们详细考虑了巴西人口的当前数据，并得出结论：Lu。 longipalpis 是一种早期媒介物种的复合体，其复杂性与冈比亚按蚊 s.s. 相似。在非洲。
Lutzomyia longipalpis is the main vector of Leishmania infantum chagasi, the causative agent of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL). Although there is strong evidence that Lu. longipalpis is a species complex, not all data concerning populations from Brazil support this hypothesis. The issue is still some what controversial for this large part of Lu. longipalpis distribution range even though that it is the Latin American region contributing to most of the cases of AVL. In this mini-review we consider in detail the current data for Brazilian populations and conclude that Lu. longipalpis is a complex of incipient vector species with a complexity similar to Anopheles gambiae s.s. in Africa.
