Control of phlebotomine sandflies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2003
Abstract. Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) transmit many zoonotic diseases (arboviruses, bartonelloses and especially leishmaniases) of importance to human health in at least 80 countries. Measures used to control adult sandflies ( Lutzomyia and

The phlebotomine sandflies of Venezuelan Amazonia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1988
Abstract. Phlebotomine sandflies were surveyed in two ecologically contrasted areas, the northern moist and southern wet tropical forests, of the Territorio Federal Amazonas, Venezuela. Three new taxa and twenty‐one new records were added to the ...

Retrotransposons and evolution in phlebotomines.

Parassitologia, 1992
The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify a segment of the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene of putative retrotransposons from Phlebotomus (Larroussius) perniciosus, P. (L.) perfiliewi, P. (Phlebotomus) papatasi and Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) longipalpis.

A trap for Phlebotomine sandflies attracted to rats

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1966
Details are given of a trap for Phlebotomine sandflies attracted to a small mammal placed in a cage incorporated in the trap. It was developed in British Honduras for the purpose of studying the sandflies attracted to proven or possible hosts of Leishmania, other than man.

Relative abundance, isolation and structure of phlebotomine microsatellites

Insect Molecular Biology, 1999
Abstract Popular classes of microsatellites are not always abundant in insects or easily isolated from them. Dot‐blot hybridizations demonstrated much variation in the relative abundance of four repeat classes in four phlebotomine sandfly species.

Research priorities for the control of phlebotomine sand flies

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2011
The control of the sand fly vectors of leishmaniasis is problematic because their larvae develop in largely unknown terrestrial habitats making them impervious to available control measures. Furthermore, the behavior patterns of adults of different sand fly species are highly diverse, requiring tailor-made control solutions based upon a profound ...

Natural Population Dynamics of Phlebotomine Sandflies in Panama

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1971
The population dynamics of phlebotomine sandflics were studied in a Panamanian forest for 69 consecutive weeks. Sandfly populations were characterized by high species diversity, spatial heterogeneity and temporal change. Thirtyseven species were identified among 60,455 specimens collected.

Morphology and ultrastructure of spiracles in phlebotomine sandfly larvae

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1999
Summary The morphology and ultrastructure of the larval spiracle system of three phlebotomine sandfly species, Phlebotomus perniciosus , P. perfiliewi and P. papatasi , were examined by scanning (

Phlebotomine sandflies and leishmaniasis in British honduras (Belize)

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1970
Abstract In British Honduras (Belize), Leishmania mexicana is mainly a parasite of small forest rodents, in which the infection is usually apparent as a non-ulcerated, discrete lesion near the base of the tail. All infected rats have been captured in forest. The rat most frequently infected with L.

Leishmania In Kenyan Phlebotomine Sandflies—II

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1984
Sandflies caught from termitaria at Tseikuru (Kitui District) and Masinga (Machakos District) were dissected and examined for the presence of Leishmania . Leishmanial parasites were found in the guts of 12 out of 112 Sergentomyia garnhami from Tseikuru and in 2 out of 48 S. antennatus from Masinga. Five of the 12 S.
