Colonisation resistance in the sand fly gut:Leishmania protects Lutzomyia longipalpis from bacterial infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Phlebotomine sand flies transmit the haemoflagellate Leishmania, the causative agent of human leishmaniasis. The Leishmania promastigotes are confined to the gut lumen and are exposed to the gut microbiota within female sand flies.

[Phlebotomine sandflies of Southern Brazil].

open access: yesRevista de saude publica, 2005
OBJECTIVE: To identify the sandfly fauna and some aspects of their behavior in forest and anthropic environments. METHODS: Sandfly captures were undertaken in farm (23º 6' S; 50º 22' W), in Southern Brazil. Falcão light traps were set in forest, domicile and domestic animal shelters and mosquitoes were collected monthly, between 17h and 7h, from March ...
