Fragments of urban forest in a large Amazonian city as habitats for potential Leishmania vectors
Objective: vectors, in urban forest fragments within a leishmaniasis-endemic area of the Brazilian Amazon. Methods: was assessed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: DNA was detected. Conclusion: transmission. These findings underscore the importance of continued entomological surveillance and vector monitoring in urban environments.
