Abstract (English): Introduction. El Alférez, a village in Los Montes de María (Bolívar, Colombia) and a macro-focus of leishmaniasis, recorded its first case in 2018, evidencing changes in the distribution and eco-epidemiology of the disease, although interactions between vectors and local fauna remain unknown. Objective. To evaluate the diversity of sandflies and their blood meal sources in the community of El Alférez in the municipality of El Carmen de Bolívar (Bolívar, Colombia). Materials and methods. In 2018, sandflies were collected using LED-based light traps in domestic, peridomestic, and sylvatic ecotopes and identified at the species level. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome B gene was used to analyze blood from the digestive tract. Results. Lutzomyia evansi was the most abundant species (71.85%; n = 485/675), followed by Lu. panamensis, Lu. gomezi, Lu. trinidadensis, Lu. dubitans, Lu. abonnenci, and Lu.aclydifera. Twenty-five percent of the species had blood meals from Canis familiaris (36.00%; n = 9/25), Ovis aries (36.00%; n=9:/25), Bos taurus (24.00%; n = 6/25), Sus scrofa (20.00%; n = 5/25), and Homo sapiens (8.00%; n = 2/25). Lutzomyia evansi registered the highest feeding frequency (68.00%; n = 17/25), predominantly on a single (44.00%; n = 11/25) or multiple species (24.00%; n = 6/25). Conclusion. Results indicate a eclectic feeding behavior in Lu. evansi, implying potential reservoir hosts for Leishmania spp. and increasing transmission risk. This study is a first step towards understanding the diversity of mammalian blood sources used by sandflies, that may be crucial for vector identification and formulation of effective control measures.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción. En 2018, en la vereda El Alférez de Los Montes de María (Bolívar, Colombia), un macrofoco de leishmaniasis, se reportó el primer caso y se evidenciaron cambios en la distribución y ecoepidemiología de la enfermedad. No obstante, las interacciones entre vectores y fauna local aún son desconocidas. Objetivo. Evaluar la diversidad de flebotomíneos y sus fuentes de alimentación sanguínea en la comunidad de El Alférez del municipio de El Carmen de Bolívar (Bolívar, Colombia). Materiales y métodos. En el 2018, se recolectaron flebotomíneos mediante trampas de luz led ubicadas en el domicilio, el peridomicilio y en el área silvestre, y se identificaron a nivel de especie. Se utilizó la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa múltiple dirigida al gen mitocondrial citocromo B para analizar la sangre del aparato digestivo. Resultados. Lutzomyia evansi fue la especie más abundante (71,85 %; n = 485/675), seguida por Lu. panamensis, Lu. gomezi, Lu. trinidadensis, Lu. dubitans, Lu. abonnenci y Lu. aclydifera. El 25 % (n = 25/100) de las especies analizadas tuvieron como fuentes de ingesta sanguínea a Canis familiaris (36 %; n = 9/25), Ovis aries (36 %; n = 9/25), Bos taurus (24 %; n = 6/25), Sus scrofa (20 %; n = 5/25) y Homo sapiens (8 %; n = 2/25). Lutzomyia evansi fue la especie con la mayor frecuencia de alimentación (68 %; n = 17/25), predominantemente de una sola especie (44 %; n = 11/25) o de varias (24 %; n = 6/25). Conclusiones. Los hallazgos indican un comportamiento alimenticio ecléctico en Lu. evansi que implica potenciales reservorios para Leishmania spp. y eleva el riesgo de transmisión. Este estudio es un primer paso para comprender la diversidad de fuentes sanguíneas de mamíferos, utilizadas por los flebotomíneos, y que pueden ser cruciales para identificación de vectores y la formulación de medidas de control eficaces.
