The complexities of blood-feeding patterns in mosquitoes and sandflies and the burden of disease: A minireview. [PDF]
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

Ecology of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lutzomyia migonei in an endemic area for visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
The main vector for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is Lutzomyia longipalpis. However, the absence of L. longipalpis in a region of autochthonous VL demonstrates the participation of other species in the transmission of the parasite. Studies conducted in La Banda, Argentina, and São Vicente Férrer, Pernambuco State, Brazil, have correlated the ...

We compared sand fly communities of a forest reserve with those of forest management areas in Mexico to determine their species diversity (α and β) and determined peaks of activity. During the windy and dry season, the abundance of anthropophilic sand fly species is negatively correlated with the temperature and positively correlated with relative ...

The canine Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi‐infection has a strong impact on the health of dogs by making a high number of dogs susceptible to visceral leishmaniasis before 2 years of age. The incidence of canine infection revealed that 6.6% of dogs/month acquire the infection before completing 1 year of life.

Lutzomyia longipalpis urbanisation and control [PDF]
Since the description of Lutzomyia longipalpis by Lutz and Neiva more than 100 years ago, much has been written in the scientific literature about this phlebotomine species. Soares and Turco (2003) and Lainson and Rangel (2005) have written extensive reviews focused on vector-host-parasite interactions and American visceral leishmaniasis ecology ...
