Abstract
Lu. flaviscutellata is limited in its vertical distribution to a narrow zone just above the forest floor. The very high incidence of L. mexicana amazonensis in ground loving rodents of the genera Oryzomys and Proechimys, and the location of lesions in man caused by this same parasite on the lower parts of the body would both appear to be a reflection of the limited vertical distribution of the sandfly vector.Keywords
