Resumo

Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) constitutes the most epidemiologically relevant vector of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the New World. On October 25, 2023, the Macapá Center for Strategic Information in Health Surveillance registered a case of VL in the Km9 neighborhood, in Macapá. This study aimed to describe the Phlebotominae species in this area to assist the confirmation of the autochthony of the case. In total, 12 specimens were collected, of which five belonged to the Lutzomyia longipalpis species, confirming the presence of the VL agent vector and the possible autochthony of the transmission.
