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.

Leishmania in Kenyan Phlebotomine Sandflies—III

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1986
The paper reviews advances in our understanding of the vectorial capacity and vector-parasite relationship in Kenyan sandflies since the early 1900s (when sandflies were first reported in Kenya). Of the 38 species of sandflies known to occur in Kenya to date, three (Phlebotomus pedifer, P. martini and P.

Infection of phlebotomine sandflies with Leishmania

1997
Species of sandflies that are capable of transmitting leishmaniasis are found in two genera: Lutzomyia and Phlebotomus. Only the females blood-feed and transmit disease via their bite, Lutzomyia species in the Americas, and Phlebotomus spp. elsewhere.

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.
