A First Record of Phlebotominae from Argentinean Patagonia (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) [PDF]
A species of the Lutzomyia oswaldoi group is recorded from the Valcheta stream basin, Somuncura plateau, Patagonia. It represents the World southermost record of a species of Phlebotominae, apparently supporting the hypothesis about the relictual character of several components of the Somuncura plateau biota, particularly for those species belonging to

Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

We compared sand fly communities of a forest reserve with those of forest management areas in Mexico to determine their species diversity (α and β) and determined peaks of activity. During the windy and dry season, the abundance of anthropophilic sand fly species is negatively correlated with the temperature and positively correlated with relative ...

Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Abstract Despite reptile trypanosomes forming a large group, the majority of species descriptions are data deficient, lacking key characteristic data and supporting molecular data. Reptile hosts show potential to facilitate transmission of zoonotic trypanosomiases and offer key information to understanding the genus of Trypanosoma.
