Phlebotomine sandflies are a group of insects of importance in public health, given their capacity to transmit pathogens, such as Leishmania spp. In Colombia, Lutzomyia longiflocosa is considered the most probable vector in leishmaniasis outbreaks in the departments of Norte de Santander, Huila, and Tolima. However, several aspects of its biology and ecology are unknown, which directly affect it is role as a vector of the parasite. So it is necessary to know more about the characteristics inherent to its life cycle and life tables to make epidemic prediction models, and implement prevention of vector control measures against future outbreaks of the disease.Para acceder a la videoconferencia completa, hacer clic en "Enlace externo".Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ecología de Vectores
