The recombinant protein rSP03B is a valid antigen for screening dog exposure to Phlebotomus perniciosus across foci of canine leishmaniasis [PDF]
The frequency of sandfly-host contacts can be measured by host antibody levels against sandfly salivary proteins. Recombinant salivary proteins are suggested to represent a valid replacement for salivary gland homogenate (SGH); however, it is necessary ...

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

An update on the composition and distribution of sand fly species in the Nile environments of Khartoum. Variations were observed in species number than in species composition. The study will be a good reference for future studies on sandflies after the change in their habitat due to the current war in Sudan. ABSTRACT Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors
