Variation between geographical populations of Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) whitmani (Antunes & Coutinho, 1939) sensu lato (Diptera:Psychodidae:Phlebotominae) in Brazil [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
Phylogenetic analysis of morphometric and biological characters indicated that there are two distinct forms of Lutzomyia whitmani in Brazil: one is present both north and south of the River Amazonas in the State of Pará while the other occurs in northeast Brazil, in the State of Ceará, and further south, including the type locality in State of Bahia ...

An Integrated Approach Using Spatial Analysis to Study the Risk Factors for Leishmaniasis in Area of Recent Transmission

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.

Is Lutzomyia intermedia (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) more Endophagic than Lutzomyia whitmani (Antunes & Coutinho, 1939) Because it is more Attracted to Light?

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
RESEARCH NOTE\ud Both Lutzomyia intermedia sensu lato (Lutz & Neiva) and its closest relative Lutzomyia whitmani (Autunes & Countinho, 1939) are incriminated vectors of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis (Vianna, 1911) in Brazil (LM Deane & G Grimaldi 1985, p. 247-281. In K-P Chang & RS Bray (eds), Leishmaniasis, Elsevier, Amsterdam).

Rattus norvegicus (Rodentia: Muridae) Infected by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum (syn. Le. chagasi) in Brazil

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
In the present study we surveyed the fauna of phlebotomine sand flies and small mammals in peridomestic areas from a Brazilian municipality where the American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is endemic. A total of 608 female phlebotomine sand flies were captured during nine months in 2009 and 2010.

The Vectorial Potential ofLutzomyia (Nyssomyia) intermediaandLutzomyia (N.) whitmaniin the Transmission ofLeishmania (V.) braziliensisCan Also Be Related to Proteins Attaching [PDF]

Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2010
We read with great interest the report by Soares et al. [1] on the potential of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis to attach to the midgut of the sand flies Lutzomyia (N.) whitmani and Lutzomyia (N.) intermedia. This manuscript assesses relevant information concerning the biomolecular phenomena between Leishmania promastigotes and the midgut of ...

Epidemiology of Visceral Leishmaniasis in a Reemerging Focus of Intense Transmission in Minas Gerais State, Brazil

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This study was developed in the urban area of Governador Valadares, a reemerging focus of intense transmission of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil, presenting 86 human cases of VL from 2008 to 2011. The disease prevailed in males (73.2%) with most patients between 0 and 9 years (44.1%) and a lethality rate of 16.2%. A canine survey was carried out

Ultrastructural Comparison of External Morphology of Immature Stages of Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) intermedia and Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) whitmani (Diptera: Psychodidae), Vectors of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, by Scanning Electron Microscopy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2007
Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) intermedia (Lutz & Neiva 1912) and Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) whitmani (Antunes & Coutinho 1939) (Diptera: Psychodidae) are vectors of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in several endemic regions of Brazil. We analyzed the external morphological aspects of the immature stages of these two vectors by using scanning electron microscopy ...
