Sand flies were collected monthly from October 2016 to October 2017 using CDC light traps in the intradomiciliary and peridomiciliary environments of seven residences. Sand fly abundance was correlated to climatic variables. Females were pooled by species, location, and date for Leishmania DNA molecular screening using ITS1 and kDNA polymerase chain reaction. In total, 501 sand flies from five species were collected in which Lutzomyia gaminarai (Cordero, Vogelsang &amp; Cossio, 1928) (Diptera: Psychodidae) (78%) was the most abundant species in the intradomiciliary sites while Migonemyia migonei (Franca, 1920) (Diptera: Psychodidae) (43.3%) was the most abundant in the peridomiciliary sites. A higher number of sand flies were collected during the warmest months, from December to March (Mann\u2013Whitney statistical test \u2013 P &amp;lt; 0.001). Leishmania infantum DNA was detected in Lu. gaminarai (2), Pintomyia fischeri (Pinto, 1926) (1) and Mg. migonei (1). Leishmania braziliensis DNA was detected in Lu. gaminarai (1) and Pi. fischeri (1). Our results add support to the possible vector role of Pi. fischeri in the epidemiological cycle of Le. infantum in Brazil. Furthermore, the first documented detection of Leishmania DNA in Lu. gaminarai may be indicative of multiple vectors being involved in the Leishmania cycle within Porto Alegre.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjaa036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,29]],"date-time":"2020-02-29T07:59:47Z","timestamp":1582963187000},"page":"1286-1292","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Potential Vectors of Leishmania Parasites in a Recent Focus of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Neighborhoods of Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2799-8267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe Dutra","family":"R\u00eago","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Estudo em Leishmanioses, Instituto Ren\u00e9 Rachou, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Get\u00falio Dornelles","family":"Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Vigil\u00e2ncia de Roedores e Vetores, Secretaria Municipal de Sa\u00fade de Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"},{"name":"N\u00facleo de Flebotom\u00edneos, Laborat\u00f3rio Central de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica do Rio Grande do Sul, Secretaria de Sa\u00fade do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00falia Bahia","family":"Miranda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Estudo em Leishmanioses, Instituto Ren\u00e9 Rachou, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lais Vieira","family":"Peixoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Vigil\u00e2ncia de Roedores e Vetores, Secretaria Municipal de Sa\u00fade de Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Dilermando","family":"Andrade-Filho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Estudo em Leishmanioses, Instituto Ren\u00e9 Rachou, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020070409342532900_CIT0001","volume-title":"Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o regional e h\u00e1bitats das esp\u00e9cies de flebotom\u00edneos do Brasil","author":"de Aguiar","year":"2003","edition":"1a. ed"},{"key":"2020070409342532900_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"481","DOI":"10.1590\/S0074-02762007005000035","article-title":"Nyssomyia intermedia (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) and Nyssomyia neivai (Pinto, 1926) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) geographical distribution and epidemiological importance","volume":"102","author":"Andrade Filho","year":"2007","journal-title":"Mem.
