Molecular detection of Leishmania DNA and identification of blood meals in wild caught phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from southern Portugal

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum which is transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae) is endemic in the Mediterranean basin. The main objectives of this study were to (i) detect Leishmania DNA and

Recent advances in phlebotomine sand fly research related to leishmaniasis control

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Phlebotomine sand flies are the subject of much research because of the role of their females as the only proven natural vectors of Leishmania species, the parasitic protozoans that are the causative agents of the neglected tropical disease leishmaniasis.

Nocturnal activities of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Baringo County, Kenya

, 2020
Leishmaniasis is a disease of both humans and animals. It is transmitted by the bite of sand flies of the genus Phlebotomus in the Old World and Lutzomyia in the New World.

Invertebrate-Derived DNA (iDNA) to Identify Sand Flies’ Bloodmeal: A Molecular Approach to Identifying Hosts in Blood-Feeding Vectors of Leishmaniasis

Microorganisms
DNA metabarcoding data obtained by next generation sequencing (NGS) has been used to identify species in mixed biological samples, such as DNA from the gut content of invertebrates that feed on vertebrates (invertebrate-derived DNA, iDNA).

Identification of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Phlebotomine sand flies are incriminated in the transmission of several human and veterinary pathogens. To elucidate their role as vectors, proper species identification is crucial.

Control of Phlebotomine Sand Flies in Iran: A Review Article.

Journal of arthropod-borne diseases, 2016
Leishmaniasis has long been known as a significant public health challenge in many parts of Iran. Phlebotomus papatasi and P. sergenti are the vectors of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis and Anthroponotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis respectively, and 5 species of sand flies including P. kandelakii, P. neglectus, P. perfiliewi, P.

Vector soup : high-throughput identification of Neotropical phlebotomine sand flies using metabarcoding

, 2017
Phlebotomine sand flies are haematophagous dipterans of primary medical importance. They represent the only proven vectors of leishmaniasis worldwide and are involved in the transmission of various other pathogens.
