FIOCRUZ | Levantamento de flebotomíneos da Terra Indígena Wajãpi, Amazônia Oriental, Brasil

To contribute to the knowledge of the epidemiology of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) among indigenous people, we studied the sand fly fauna collected in areas of transmission of the disease in the Brazilian Amazon. Our dataset is comprised of occurrence data from the Wajapi Indigenous Land (Amapa state), collected between 2013-2014. Sand flies were collected with light traps at different sites and they were mainly identified to species level by taxonomists with expertise in Amazonian fauna. These records may contribute to a better understanding of ACL transmission dynamics as well as the distribution of vectors in these areas.

为深化对美洲皮肤利什曼病（American cutaneous leishmaniasis, ACL）在原住民群体中流行病学特征的认知，我们针对巴西亚马逊地区该疾病传播区域内采集的白蛉动物区系开展了研究。本数据集涵盖2013至2014年间采集自阿马帕州瓦雅皮原住民领地的物种出现记录数据。研究采用诱虫灯在多个采样点位捕获白蛉，且主要由具备亚马逊动物区系研究专长的分类学家完成物种水平鉴定。本数据集相关记录可为进一步阐明美洲皮肤利什曼病的传播动态及该区域媒介昆虫的分布格局提供有益参考。
