Phylogenetic relations among Mexican phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) and their divergence time estimation [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) have biological relevance as vectors of several pathogens. To ensure periodic entomological monitoring it is necessary to have efficient and accurate tools for an adequate taxonomic ...

Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae) of the world. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Abstract Background Checklists of zoological groups are useful to document species names in a specific area or even worldwide. They serve for various purposes, including ecological studies, conservation reports, policy and decision-making, and species identification.

Relationships of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera) [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1993
The status of phlebotomine sand flies in relationship to the family Psychodidae (Diptera) is reviewed. It is concluded that sand flies should be given familial recognition as Phlebotomidae, divided into subfamilies Phlebotominae and Bruchomyiinae.

Stability and suitability of housekeeping genes in phlebotomine sand flies. [PDF]

Sci Rep
We investigated gene expression patterns in Lutzomyia and Phlebotomus sand fly vectors of leishmaniases. Using quantitative PCR, we assessed the expression stability of potential endogenous control genes commonly used in dipterans. We analyzed Lutzomyia longipalpis and Phlebotomus papatasi samples from L3 and L4 larval stages, adult sand flies of ...

Leishmaniasis and phlebotomine sand flies in Oman Sultanate. [PDF]

Parasite, 2020
There are few data on leishmaniases and sandflies in Oman Sultanate. We carried out an eco-epidemiological study in 1998 in the two main mountains of the country, the Sharqiyah and the Dhofar. This study allowed us to isolate and identify threeLeishmaniastrains from patients exhibiting cutaneous leishmaniasis.
