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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Leishmania in Kenyan Phlebotomine Sandflies—IV

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1986
Five ( Sergentomyia antennatus, S. garnhami, S. schwetzi, S. ingrami and S. adleri ) of the six species of sandflies fed on mammalian blood containing cultured Leishmania donovani promastigotes on day 0, were able to feed through cockerel skin membranes at 5.5, 10, 34.3, 45.7 and 95% feeding rates, respectively.

Ecology of Viruses Isolated from Panamanian Phlebotomine Sandflies

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1974
Abstract A total of 269 virus strains was obtained from both male and female phlebotomine sandflies collected at two localities in Panama between 1969 and 1971. These isolates represented nine different virus types (Changuinola, VSV-Indiana, Punta Toro-CoAr 3319, Chagres, VP-175A, VP-437R, VP-161A, VP-488A and VP-118D) as well as several unidentified ...

Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Marrakech city, Morocco

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 2007
The sandflies at 17 sites within or near the Moroccan city of Marrakech were surveyed between 2002 and 2006. Overall 2310 specimens were collected and five species were identified. Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus) papatasi was the most prevalent species (47.4%), followed by Sergentomyia (Sergentomyia) minuta (16.6%), S.

Caloric Determinations of Phlebotomine Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988
Adults of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Phlebotomus papatasi were analyzed to quantify available energy reserves and to determine the prevalence of fructose-positive specimens. In both species, males and females with access to fructose or sucrose solutions in the laboratory had more energy reserves available ($\bar x$ ≤ 1.3 cal per insect) than individuals

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.
