Nyssomyia intermedia is an important vector of American cutaneous leishmaniasis. Methods: Sand flies were captured in a Shannon trap and after landing on human collectors and retrieved monthly. Nocturnal activity was estimated using a log-linear model. Results: Peak sand fly collection in the Shannon trap occurred in summer and winter, and peak fly collection on humans occurred in spring and summer. Conclusions: Ny. intermedia was captured in both the hottest and coldest months, indicating its
