Ecological determinants of leishmaniasis vector, Lutzomyia spp.: A scoping review

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 393-406, December 2024.
Lutzomyia spp. survival is impacted by climatic, habitat and geodemographic factors. Lutzomyia spp. have demonstrated a wide range of temperature tolerance, ranging from 11 to 30°C. There is limited research on this topic, posing a significant challenge for future studies. Abstract Leishmania spp. are zoonotic parasites transmitted by phlebotomine sand

A cross‐sectional study on phlebotomine sand flies in relation to disease transmission in the Republic of Kosovo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 573-585, December 2024.
We provide the currently known sand fly distribution and species diversity in Kosovo, including a COI barcode inventory and distribution maps. Phlebotomus neglectus and Ph. perfiliewi were identified to be the predominant species and environmental analyses depicted two geographical groups of sand flies in Kosovo, with notable differences between the ...

Infection of Phlebotomus sergenti with Leishmania tropica [PDF]

Nature, 1928
WORKING in the Government Central Laboratory, Baghdad, as guests of the director, Dr. A. E. Mills, we found that cultures of a strain of Leishmania tropica behaved in P. sergenti exactly as in P. papatasii, that is, in sandflies infected by feeding through a membrane the flagellates tended to an anterior position.

Investigation of Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Zoonotic Diseases in Rodents in Turkey

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 6, November 2024.
Rodents are reservoir hosts for zoonotic pathogens. In this study, the presence of viral lymphocytic choriomeningitis and hantavirus infections, bacterial tularaemia and leptospirosis, and parasitic leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis were investigated in 498 rodents collected in Erzurum province, Turkey.

The complexities of blood‐feeding patterns in mosquitoes and sandflies and the burden of disease: A minireview

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
Mosquitoes and phlebotomine sandflies are infectious disease vectors through hematophagy. The development of hematophagy likely provided an evolutionary advantage, offering a rich nutrient source for reproduction. These insects exhibit diverse blood‐feeding patterns, from invertebrates to various vertebrates. Multiple sensory cues to guide host‐seeking
