Adler María Teresa Becerra Bruno L. Travi Medicina Colombia Leishmania reservoirs attraction Phlebotomines Lutzomyia evansi is the vector of Leishmania chagasi in northern Colombia. Differences infeeding success were revealed, when this phlebotomine sand fly was fed on five species ofsmall mammal hosts from an endemic focus of visceral leishmaniasis. In each trial, 50 femalesand flies were provided access to similar-sized depilated areas of the hind foot of each of 44individual mammals and allowed to feed for 30 minutes. The number of engorged sand flieswas counted at the end of each trial and compared among host species by analysis of varianceand Tukeys multiple comparisons test. Sand flies fed least successfully on Sciurusgranatensis, a common squirrel in the endemic area. It has not been found infected with L.chagasi. Intermediate numbers of sand flies engorged on Heteromys anomalus andZygodontomys brevicauda, but these two mammals have not been found infected with L.chagasi and are not expected to be important in transmission. Sand flies fed most successfullyon Didelphis marsupialis and Proechimys canicollis. These are the two most abundantmammals in the endemic area and frequently are infected.
