Spread of Phlebotominae in temperate climates: province of Córdoba, Argentina
Visintin, Andrés Mario; Beranek, Mauricio Daniel; Amieva, Maria José; Rosa, Juan Ramón; Almirón, Walter Ricardo & Salomón, Oscar Daniel
Abstract
We report the presence of the competent vector for Leishmania spp, Migonemyia migonei, and the Evandromyia cortelezzii-sallesi
complex south of its known distribution in the central temperate region of Argentina, in the
province of Córdoba. The persistence of this phlebotomine in the northern border of the province, its association
with a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and the new record in the outskirts of the city of Córdoba, the second most
populated in the country, strengthens the need for regular vector surveillance and a case detection-sensitive health
system in vulnerable regions, even in temperate climates.
Keywords
