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

Combining epidemiology with basic biology of sand flies, parasites, and hosts to inform leishmaniasis transmission dynamics and control. [PDF]

, 2017
Quantitation of the nonlinear heterogeneities in Leishmania parasites, sand fly vectors, and mammalian host relationships provides insights to better understand leishmanial transmission epidemiology towards improving its control. The parasite manipulates

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

Sequence-independent characterization of viruses based on the pattern of viral small RNAs produced by the host [PDF]

, 2015
Virus surveillance in vector insects is potentially of great benefit to public health. Large-scale sequencing of small and long RNAs has previously been used to detect viruses, but without any formal comparison of different strategies.

Fatty acids derived from oviposition systems guide female black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) toward egg deposition sites

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 1231-1248, August 2024.
While the polyphagous larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) are gaining interest as an alternative protein source for food and feed, little research has been done on the behavior of the adults. We identified three fatty acids and one fatty acid methyl ester derived from old oviposition sites and aimed to elucidate their effect on ...
