Transmission of Disease Agents by Phlebotomine Sand Flies
Annual Review of Entomology, 1957Phlebotomine sand flies are known to be carriers of the following diseases: sand-fly fever, the various forms of leishmaniasis, and Carrion's disease. They also cause harara, a skin condition resembling an urticaria, which is a reac tion to their bites.

Biology of Phlebotomine Sand Flies as Vectors of Disease Agents
Annual Review of Entomology, 2013Phlebotomines are the sole or principal vectors of Leishmania, Bartonella bacilliformis, and some arboviruses. The coevolution of sand flies with Leishmania species of mammals and lizards is considered in relation to the landscape epidemiology of leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease.

Field evaluation of a new light trap for phlebotomine sand flies
Acta Tropica, 2017Light traps are one of the most common attractive method for the collection of nocturnal insects. Although light traps are generally referred to as "CDC light traps", different models, equipped with incandescent or UV lamps, have been developed. A new light trap, named Laika trap 3.0, equipped with LED lamps and featured with a light and handy design ...

Control of Phlebotomine Sand Flies With Vertical Fine-Mesh Nets
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2009Insecticide-treated vertical net barriers were used to intercept foraging sand flies. Two different nets were draped on fenced enclosures (10 by 10 m; 2 m high) in the central Jordan Valley. One enclosure was draped with a deltamethrin-impregnated net (PermaNet, 225 holes/in2).

A Simple Method for Experimental Infection of Phlebotomine Sand Flies with Leishmania
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1984Mouse macrophages, grown in continuous cell culture at 37 degrees C, were inoculated with the promastigote stage of various human pathogenic Leishmania species. Under these culture conditions, the parasites rapidly entered the cells and transformed into amastigotes.

Phlebotomine Sand Flies: Biology and Control
2002Of approximately 800 species or subspecies of phlebotomine sand flies, 80 are proven or probable vectors of the 22 species of Leishmania that cause human disease (Tables 1 and 2). In some foci of leishmaniasis, the vectors are unknown and it is certain that more species will be added to the list.

Bionomy: Biology of Neotropical Phlebotomine Sand Flies
2018Phlebotomine sand flies are included in the order Diptera, a small insect measuring 2 to 3 mm with intense pilosity over its body. Like most Diptera, phlebotomine sand flies are holometabolous (i.e., they present in their life cycle an egg phase; a larval phase that includes four sub-stages; a pupal phase; and, finally, the adult stage).

Phlebotomine sand flies as vectors of vesiculoviruses: a review.
Parassitologia, 1992Phlebotomine sand flies appear to be involved in the epizootiology of 10 of the 16 currently recognized vesiculoviruses. Evidence in support of this includes isolation of viruses from wild-caught male and female sand flies; demonstration of oral infection, replication, and bite transmission of viruses by sand flies; the temporal and/or spatial ...

Entomopathogens of phlebotomine sand flies: Laboratory experiments and natural infections
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1991The susceptibility of different geographical strains of Phlebotomus papatasi to a cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) was determined experimentally by feeding polyhedra to larvae. Of the Indian P. papatasi, 15.6% became infected, whereas Egyptian P. papatasi were mostly refractory.

Radiation of the Oriental phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae)
Insect Science, 2010Abstract The historical biogeography of phlebotomine sand fly taxa Hertigia, Warileya, Phlebotomus (Idiophlebotomus), P. (Spelaeophlebotomus), P. (Anaphlebotomus), and P. (Euphlebotomus) and the Phlebotomus (Euphlebotomus) argentipes species complex was investigated using phylogenetic inference from comparative genital morphology, distribution of ...
