Genome Mining Reveals a Novel Nephthenol-Producing Diterpene Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis. [PDF]

Chembiochem
The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity

Sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis in a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in central Colombia [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
Lutzomyia longipalpis, 15 other species of the genus Lutzomyia, and one species of Brumptomyia were collected in an endemic focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a river canyon 450 m above sea-level, in Rio Claro, Antioquia, Colombia.

The Lutzomyia longipalpis complex: what's next? [PDF]

Trends Parasitol
Lutzomyia longipalpis is a phlebotomine sand fly of medico-veterinary importance and the primary vector of Leishmania infantum in the Americas. Its taxonomic status has been debated for decades, with ongoing uncertainty about whether it represents a single species or a species complex. While multiple studies support the existence of cryptic species, no

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 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 ...

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.

Evaluating the impact of nitisinone at mosquito-lethal doses on Lutzomyia longipalpis. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Nitisinone, a systemic inhibitor of tyrosine catabolism, has recently emerged as a promising endectocide with demonstrated lethality against mosquitoes and tsetse flies. To assess its efficacy against Lutzomyia longipalpis , an important vector of Leishmania infantum

The first record of Lutzomyia longipalpis in the Argentine northwest [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
In 2004, the urban presence of Lutzomyia longipalpis was recorded for the first time in Formosa province. In 2006, the first autochthonous case of human urban visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was recorded in Misiones in the presence of the vector, along with some canine VL cases.
