Abstract
in English, Portuguese

To contribute to knowledge of the epidemiology of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) among indigenous people living in sylvatic regions, we studied the sand fly fauna collected in areas of disease transmission in the Brazilian Amazon. Here we report two datasets comprising occurrence data for sand flies from the Suruwaha Indigenous Land in the state of Amazonas collected in 2012-2013, and the Wajãpi Indigenous Land in the state of Amapá collected in 2013-2014. Sand flies were collected using unbaited CDC-like light traps at various sites within each study area and were identified to either genus or species-level by taxonomists with expertise in Amazonian fauna. A total of 4,646 records are reported: 1,428 from the Suruwaha and 3,218 from the Wajãpi. These records will contribute to a better understanding of ACL transmission dynamics, as well as the distribution of insect vectors, in these areas.

Para contribuir com o conhecimento da epidemiologia da leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) entre indígenas que vivem em regiões silvestres, estudamos a fauna de flebotomíneos coletada em áreas de transmissão da doença na Amazônia brasileira. Aqui relatamos dois conjuntos de dados que incluem dados de ocorrência de flebotomíneos da Terra Indígena Suruwaha no estado do Amazonas coletados em 2012–2013 e da Terra Indígena Wajãpi no estado do Amapá coletados em 2013–2014. Os flebotomíneos foram coletados usando armadilhas de luz tipo CDC sem isca em vários locais dentro de cada área de estudo e foram identificados em nível de gênero ou espécie por taxonomistas com experiência em fauna amazônica. São registrados 4.646 registros: 1.428 dos Suruwaha e 3.218 dos Wajãpi. Esses registros contribuirão para um melhor entendimento da dinâmica de transmissão do LTA, bem como da distribuição de insetos vetores, nessas áreas.
