Lutzomyia cortelezzii was found in the urban area of Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil. The appearance this phlebotomine in 100% of 288 hours of capture in Ilhéus' territory is an unpublished fact. The collection was by CDC light traps between December 2003 and May 2004, with a total of 81 collected samples.

Introduction: Leishmaniasis stands out as a public health problem in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, especially in the Midwest region. However, the entomological aspects in several municipalities remain unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sand fly fauna in Bambuí, encompassing ecological dynamics and molecular detection of Leishmania.

Article Synopsis
- Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites from the Leishmania genus, transmitted to humans through bites from infected sandflies, with two main types (tegumentary and visceral) prevalent in Brazil.
- In the municipality of Baldim, there were a few cases of both types reported from 2017 to 2022, triggering a study on local sandfly populations and their potential role in disease transmission.
- The study collected 918 sandflies from 12 species, with Lutzomyia longipalpis being the most common; however, no natural Leishmania infections were found in the collected specimens, suggesting a need for further monitoring of transmission risks in the area.

A new species of phlebotomine sand fly collected in the rural and peri-urban areas of wet and dry subregions of the Chaco Province, Argentina, is described. Illustrations of male and female adults are presented. Morphological characters allow the inclusion of the new species within the Evandromyia genus, Barrettomyia subgenus, Cortelezzii series (Diptera: Psychodidae).

Tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) is caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by the sandfly species, insects belonging to the order Diptera, family Psychodidae. Historically, the most endemic area of TL in Argentina has been the northern region. The aim of this work was to analyze the presence and temporal variation of TL cases reported between 1985 and 2019 in Colonia Santa Rosa locality, northern Argentina.

Leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania spp. parasites transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies. In Argentina, the most endemic area of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) has been Orán department, Province of Salta, where Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis prevails and Nyssomyia neivai is considered as its vector, although there is no accurate and sufficient information in this regard.
