Going Mobile: Using Portable Genomic Technologies for PCR‐Free In Situ Species Identification and Real‐Time Molecular Systematics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Here, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.

Hybridization in Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae): A mini-review

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Taxonomy based only on morphology, although extremely important for the classification of sandflies, has been shown to be insufficient for the delimitation of some taxa. Thus, integrative taxonomy could play a fundamental role in clarifying these and other taxonomic issues, since data from different areas are used to aggregate greater reliability in ...

IL‐12 and IFN‐γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12

Fatal Outcome of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis in a Patient With Hidden Visceral Leishmaniasis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a systemic parasitic disease with diverse clinical manifestations, primarily affecting the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. While renal involvement in VL is well documented, it is often mild and resolves with effective treatment.

Description of the fourth instar larva of Lutzomyia longipalpis, under scanning electron microscopy

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
The fourth instar larva of Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) longipalpis (Phlebotomidae: Phlebotominae) was studied by scanning electron microscope. Based on three-dimensional observations, the fine structure and setal position (using of setal numeration) of the ...

Morphological and Molecular Techniques as an Integrative Approach to Identifying Sandfly (Diptera: Psychodidae) Vectors of Leishmaniasis in the Jazan and Asir Regions, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Sandflies are the primary vectors of leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease of major public health concern in Saudi Arabia. While morphological identification remains the standard for species classification in the Jazan and Asir regions, distinguishing closely related taxa is often challenging and time‐consuming.

A Century of Epidemiological Advances in Cutaneous and Visceral Leishmaniasis in Algeria

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Leishmaniasis is a group of diseases transmitted by sandflies, affecting humans and animals, with three clinical presentations: cutaneous, mucosal, and visceral. The disease is caused by the parasite Leishmania and is a significant global health issue, with approximately two million cases annually and 350 million people at risk.
