Do Different LED Colours Influence Sand Fly Collection by Light Trap in the Mediterranean?
BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Light traps represent the most used attractive system to collect and monitor phlebotomine sand flies. Recent studies have suggested that light traps can be easily upgraded by the use of light‐emitting diode (LED) with positive effects on trap design, weight, and battery life.

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 During 2012–2015, an entomological survey was conducted as part of a phlebotomine (Diptera: Psychodidae) monitoring program in an area influenced by the Santo Antônio do Jari hydroelectric system (Amapá State, Brazil). The purpose was to study aspects of Amazon/Guianan American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) vectors subjected to stresses by ...

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 The purpose of this study is to create distribution models of seventeen Lutzomyia species in Venezuela. Presence records were obtained from field collections over 30 years by several research teams. We used maximum entropy method for model construction based on 30 arc‐second resolution environmental layers: 19 bioclimatic variables, elevation, and land

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 The aim of this study was to characterize clinical field isolates of Leishmania spp. obtained from patients with American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) who live in Goiás state, Brazil. The presumed areas of infection were in Goiás, Tocantins, and Pará states. Three isolates of parasites were identified as L. (Viannia) braziliensis and one as L.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 In the New World, the leishmaniases are primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of Leishmania‐infected Lutzomyia (Diptera: Psychodidae) phlebotomine sand flies. Any or both of two basic clinical forms of these diseases are endemic to several cities in Brazil—the American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) and the American visceral leishmaniasis ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Some epidemiological aspects of leishmaniasis in the municipality of Formiga, Brazil, an important touristic site, were evaluated. Those included phlebotomine sand fly vectors, canine infection, and geoprocessing analysis for determining critical transmission areas. Sand flies (224 insects) belonging to ten different species were captured.
