Lutzomyia longipalpis urbanisation and control [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015 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 ...

Tripartite interactions: Leishmania, microbiota and Lutzomyia longipalpis. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2020 The microbial consortium associated with sandflies has gained relevance, with its composition shifting throughout distinct developmental stages, being strongly influenced by the surroundings and food sources. The bacterial components of the microbiota can interfere with Leishmania development inside the sandfly vector.

Lutzomyia longipalpis: an update on this sand fly vector [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Lutzomyia longipalpis is the most important vector of Leishmania infantum, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the New World. It is a permissive vector susceptible to infection with several Leishmania species. One of the advantages that favors the study of this sand fly is the possibility of colonization in the laboratory.

Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae): a review [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2003 Lutzomyia longipalpis is the most important vector of AmericanVisceral Leishmaniasis (AVL) due to Leishmania chagasi in the New World. Despite its importance, AVL, a disease primarily of rural areas, has increased its prevalence and became urbanized in some large cities in Brazil and other countries in Latin America.

Improved annotation of Lutzomyia longipalpis genome using bioinformatics analysis. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Lutzomyia longipalpis, a sand fly, is a vector-spreading pathogenic protozoan in the New World. MicroRNA (miRNA) is evolutionarily-conserved non-coding RNA, which plays critical roles in various biological processes. To date, the functions of most proteins in L. longipalpis are unknown, and few studies have addressed the roles of miRNAs in this species.

Phlebotomine sand flies in the State of Piauí, Brazil (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 In 1997, 1998 and 1999 we performed several captures in the State of Piauí, in the counties of Barro Duro, Campo Maior, Castelo, Floriano, Picos, São Raimundo Nonato and Teresina. We used CDC light traps inside houses, in a primary forest and in one cave.
