L’étude des relations entre phlébotomes et essences végétales a été entreprise en forêt guyanaise. Certaines essences semblent abriter plus particulièrement Lutzomyia umbratilis, vecteur de Leishmania braziliensis guyanensis qui représente pour chaque essence de 28 à 88 % des captures sur troncs. L’association Lu. umbratilis + Lutzomyia rorotaensis en constitue de 58 à 98 %. Lutzomyia flaviscutellata, espèce vectrice de Leishmania mexicana amazonensis, capturé fréquemment sur homme, n’a pas été retrouvé sur tronc.
Abstract
The study of relationships between Phlebotomine sandflies and different species of trees, 0 to 1,5 m above ground, was carried out in the French Guiana forest. We found that certain forest trees are more propitious than others to the development or maintenance of certain leishmaniasis vectors. Lu. umbratilis, vector of Leishmania braziliensis guyanensis, represents between 28 and 88 % of samples collected on trunks. The association of Lu. umbratilis and Lu. rorotaensis represents between 58 and 98 %. Lu. flaviscutellata, vector of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis, frequently caught on humans, was not found on tree trunks.
