New molecular markers for phlebotomine sand flies [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology, 2001 Using degenerate-primers PCR we isolated and sequenced fragments from the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis homologous to two behavioural genes in Drosophila, cacophony and period. In addition we identified a number of other gene fragments that show homology to genes previously cloned in Drosophila. A codon usage table for L.

A Forgotten Foe Returns: The Diagnostic Odyssey of Kala-Azar Masquerading as Myelodysplastic Syndrome in a Post-Elimination Era. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT We report a diagnostically complex case of visceral leishmaniasis (Kala‐azar) in a 73‐year‐old male from a country where the disease was eliminated in 2023. The patient presented with a 2‐month history of low‐grade fever, fatigue, progressive skin hyperpigmentation over 2 years, and hepatosplenomegaly.

Sampling methods for phlebotomine sandflies [PDF]
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2000 Summary A review is presented of methods for sampling phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae). Among ∼500 species of Phlebotominae so far described, mostly in the New World genus Lutzomyia and the Old World genus Phlebotomus ...

Control of phlebotomine (Diptera: Psychodidae) leishmaniasis vectors [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2009 Phlebotomines are of medical and veterinary concern as they vector leishmaniasis, bartonellosis and some arboviruses. The adaptations of some species to places modified by humans bring these vectors into contact with dwellings, which can facilitate disease transmission, and the vector control strategies adopted have rendered controversial results ...

A Simple and Efficient Tool for Trapping Gravid Anopheles at Breeding Sites. [PDF]
, 2011 No effective tool currently exists for trapping ovipositing malaria vectors. This creates a gap in our ability to investigate the behavior and ecology of gravid Anopheles.\ud Here we describe a simple trap that collects ovipositing Anopheline and ...
