ABSTRACT

Introduction. Since 2015, emerging cases of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL) have been reported in Tinum, Yucatan. However, there are no records of sandflies in the peridomicile.
Objective. To report the presence of anthropophilic sandflies in the peridomicile of a LCL case in the municipality of Tinum, Yucatan, Mexico.
Material and Methods. A medical history of the suspected LCL case was made. The diagnosis and identification of the Leishmania species were carried out by PCR-RFLP. Two CDC traps were placed in the peridomicile.
Results. The patient was a 69 year-old woman with an ulcer in the left leg, who does not carry out risk sylvatic activities. Leishmania mexicana was identified as the causal agent. Bichromomyia olmeca olmeca, Lutzomyia cruciata, and Lutzomyia longipalpis were collected in the peridomicile.
Conclusion. This is the first record of Phlebotomine sandflies in the peridomestic environment in Yucatan, which suggests the potential risk of Leishmania peridomestic transmission.
