The Transcriptome of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) Male Reproductive Organs
It has been suggested that genes involved in the reproductive biology of insect disease vectors are potential targets for future alternative methods of control. Little is known about the molecular biology of reproduction in phlebotomine sand flies and there is no information available concerning genes that are expressed in male reproductive organs of ...

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

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

Phlebotomine fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) of an American cutaneous leishmaniasis endemic area in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil [PDF]
The occurrence of an outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis associated with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis in the municipality of Bela Vista, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and the absence of information on its vectors in this area led the ...

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 ...
