Identification of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from leishmaniasis endemic areas in southeastern Mexico using DNA barcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 23, Page 13543-13554, December 2019., 2019
Correct identification of vectors is paramount to control, and we employed the DNA barcoding as a tool for identifying phlebotomine sand flies collected in leishmaniasis endemic areas of Quintana Roo, Mexico. We provide the first cox1 sequences for three species of sand flies and indicate the utility of DNA barcoding for phlebotomine sand flies species

Ecological Niche Modeling of Seventeen Sandflies Species (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) from Venezuela

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The purpose of this study is to create distribution models of seventeen Lutzomyia species in Venezuela. Presence records were obtained from field collections over 30 years by several research teams. We used maximum entropy method for model construction based on 30 arc‐second resolution environmental layers: 19 bioclimatic variables, elevation, and land

Phlebotomine Sand Fly Fauna and Leishmania Infection in the Vicinity of the Serra do Cipó National Park, a Natural Brazilian Heritage Site

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In the New World, the leishmaniases are primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of Leishmania‐infected Lutzomyia (Diptera: Psychodidae) phlebotomine sand flies. Any or both of two basic clinical forms of these diseases are endemic to several cities in Brazil—the American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) and the American visceral leishmaniasis ...

Distribution and Abundance of Phlebotominae, Vectors of Leishmaniasis, in Argentina: Spatial and Temporal Analysis at Different Scales

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The spatial‐temporal analysis of the abundance of insects, vectors of tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL), was performed in Argentina using spatial‐temporal increasing scales. In the microscale (microfocal), the effect of the primary vegetation‐crop interface in vector abundance was observed, and also how the shelters, food ...
