To predetermine the possible vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis, a pilot-study was carried out in the urban and peripheral areas of Villeta, a small town in the central Colombian coffee-growing region, to investigate the composition and distribution of sandflies of the genus Lutzomyia. Sandflies were sampled at night using Shannon trap, CDC light trap and mouth aspirator on human and animal bait. Day-time resting sites were sampled by mouth aspirator. Eight species were found amongst the 497 sandflies collected; Lu. ovallesi (48.7%), Lu. gomezi (38.5%) and Lu. lichyi @%), being the most abundant, are known to be anthrophophilic species and have already been reported as being vectors or suspected vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
