Notes. All Leishmania (Viannia) naiffi detections were based on microscopic analysis of dissected flies and further in vitro (direct culture) and/or in vivo (inoculation in hamster prior culture) parasite isolation. (): number of infected specimens, when available; McAb: Monoclonal antibodies; MLEE: Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis; poly II: polymerase II; (AM): Amazonas State; (AP): Amapá State; (PA): Pará State; (RO): Rondônia State; BR; Brazil; EC: Ecuador; FG: French Guiana; SU: Suriname.
