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.

Microbiota do trato digestivo de fêmeas de Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) (Diptera: Psychodidae) provenientes de colônia alimentadas com sangue e com sangue e sacarose Digestive tract microbiota in female Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) (Diptera: Psychodidae) feeding on blood meal and sacarose plus blood meal

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2001
Há poucos estudos sobre a microbiota do trato digestivo de flebotomíneos, considerando-se que o sangue não é o único alimento ingerido. Os flebotomíneos, tanto os machos como as fêmeas, alimentam-se de açúcares, provenientes de várias fontes ...

A cross‐sectional study on phlebotomine sand flies in relation to disease transmission in the Republic of Kosovo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 573-585, December 2024.
We provide the currently known sand fly distribution and species diversity in Kosovo, including a COI barcode inventory and distribution maps. Phlebotomus neglectus and Ph. perfiliewi were identified to be the predominant species and environmental analyses depicted two geographical groups of sand flies in Kosovo, with notable differences between the ...

The complexities of blood‐feeding patterns in mosquitoes and sandflies and the burden of disease: A minireview

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
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

Susceptibility of phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) collected in the field, to alpha-cypermethrin in four municipalities endemic to leishmaniasis

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo
Although the chemical control against leishmaniasis began in 1953 in Brazil, little information is available on how this strategy has affected populations of phlebotomine sandflies in the field.

N‐Pyrazolyl‐ and N‐Triazolylamines and ‐Ureas as Antileishmanial and Antitrypanosomal Drugs

ChemMedChem, Volume 19, Issue 15, August 1, 2024.
Within the framework of “drugs for neglected disease initiative (DNDi)”, novel relationships between the structure of 3‐arylpyrazoles and 3‐aryl‐1,2,4‐triazoles with different substituents in 5‐position and their antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity are investigated Activity against L. infantum is not detected.

Aspectos ecológicos da leishmaniose tegumentar americana: 5. Estratificação da atividade espacial e estacional de Phlebotominae (Diptera, Psychodidae) em áreas de cultura agrícola da região do Vale do Ribeira, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil Epidemiological aspects of the American cutaneous leishmaniasis: 5. Stratification of the spatial and seasonal activity of the Phelebotominae (Diptera, Psychodidae) in agricultural cultivated area of Ribeira Valley, São Paulo State, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
A composição e estratificação da atividade Phlebotominae desenvolvida numa mata residual e área aberta com intensa atividade agrícola, tomam parte desta investigação. O emprego da armadilha CDC tornou acessivo determinar a fauna local.
