Abstract

Stratification studies showed that the vast majority of sand fly species in the Manaus region are found in tree canopies (15m), and that there are two dominant species which are the vectors of Leishmania braziliensis guyanensis. It took 43 weeks of trapping to capture all 50 species of sand flies collected.
