Urban distribution of Phlebotominae in a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus, Argentina [PDF]
Urbanization and vector domestication are currently proposed as factors that contributed to the recent increase of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL). Is likely also urban transmission? Oran is the main city in the Argentinean hyper-endemic area of ACL, and human cases in urban residences are usually reported.

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

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

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