Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Ethiopia

Heliyon, 2023
Phlebotomine sandflies have a long history of association with humans, which makes them the only proven natural vectors of Leishmania species, the parasitic protozoans that cause leishmaniases in humans and animals.

Leishmaniasis Transmission Risk at the Forest-Peridomestic Interface in an Area of Southern Sinaloa, Mexico: Entomological, Molecular, and Climatic Evidence. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania spp. and transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies, affects almost 1,000,000 people annually across more than 90 countries. In Mexico, growing evidence of locally acquired transmission in northwestern states makes ecoepidemiological work increasingly urgent.

Invertebrate-Derived DNA (iDNA) to Identify Sand Flies’ Bloodmeal: A Molecular Approach to Identifying Hosts in Blood-Feeding Vectors of Leishmaniasis [PDF]

Microorganisms
DNA metabarcoding data obtained by next generation sequencing (NGS) has been used to identify species in mixed biological samples, such as DNA from the gut content of invertebrates that feed on vertebrates (invertebrate-derived DNA, iDNA).

First Report of Autochthonous Canine Leishmaniasis in Hong Kong

Microorganisms, 2022
Canine leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leishmania infantum; transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies. Leishmania infantum amastigotes were identified by cytology from a locally born Hong Kong dog exhibiting nasal, cutaneous, and ...

Flavivirus RNA in Phlebotomine Sandflies [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2010
Sandfly-transmitted phleboviruses, such as Toscana, sandfly fever Sicilian, and sandfly fever Naples, can cause human disease and circulate at high rates in Mediterranean countries. Previous studies have also established that viruses other than phleboviruses may be detected in and isolated from sand flies.
