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.

Climatic niche conservatism in a clade of disease vectors (Diptera: Phlebotominae)

bioRxiv, 2022
Sandflies of the family Psychodidae show notable diversity in both disease vector status and climatic niche. Some species (in the subfamily Phlebotominae) transmit Leishmania parasites, responsible for the disease leishmaniasis. Other Psychodidae species

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Revisiting the cave‐dwelling sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) from Brazil: Diversity and potential role in the transmission of Leishmania Ross, 1903 (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2022
Brazilian caves, one of the many tourist attractions of the country, may act as a shelter for insects, such as sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae), natural hosts of various microorganisms including parasites of the genus Leishmania Ross, 1903.
