The RNA interference response to alphanodavirus replication in Phlebotomus papatasi sand fly cells
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 687-696, December 2024.Both the siRNA and piRNA pathways are transcriptionally active in Phlebotomus papatasi PP9ad cells. Assembly of small RNA sequencing identifies an adventitious nodavirus (American nodavirus [ANV]) in PP9ad cells. ANV is actively replicating in PP9ad cells and is targeted by the exo‐siRNA pathway but not the piRNA pathway.

New genus of Psychodinae (Diptera, Psychodidae) from Argentina [PDF]
Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2015 ABSTRACT Adults (male and female) and pupae of Chuspilepia saltenia gen. nov., sp. nov. were collected in tree holes in the Yungas rainforest, near San Ramón de la Nueva Orán city, Salta province, Argentina. It was not possible to place this new species in any known genera using the available keys and published descriptions, thus a new genus is ...

Beaver dams in Mediterranean ecosystems: trait‐specific effects on macroinvertebrates
Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 4, Page 353-362, December 2024.Being ecosystem engineers, beavers have attracted great attention in the restoration of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, the effects of the species on aquatic invertebrates known to date are not univocal and mostly refer to central European riverine systems. Here, we evaluated the effects of beaver presence on aquatic macroinvertebrates

Ecological determinants of leishmaniasis vector, Lutzomyia spp.: A scoping review
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 393-406, December 2024.Lutzomyia spp. survival is impacted by climatic, habitat and geodemographic factors. Lutzomyia spp. have demonstrated a wide range of temperature tolerance, ranging from 11 to 30°C. There is limited research on this topic, posing a significant challenge for future studies. Abstract Leishmania spp. are zoonotic parasites transmitted by phlebotomine sand

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 573-585, December 2024.We provide the currently known sand fly distribution and species diversity in Kosovo, including a COI barcode inventory and distribution maps. Phlebotomus neglectus and Ph. perfiliewi were identified to be the predominant species and environmental analyses depicted two geographical groups of sand flies in Kosovo, with notable differences between the ...

Relationships of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera)
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.

A case–control study on risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis in West Pokot County, Kenya
Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 29, Issue 10, Page 904-912, October 2024.Abstract Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe parasitic disease transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. VL is endemic in West Pokot County, Kenya, where effective strategies to interrupt transmission are impeded by the limited understanding of VL risk factors.

Species-specific ecological niche modelling predicts different range contractions for Lutzomyia intermedia and a related vector of Leishmania braziliensis following climate change in South America [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Before 1996 the phlebotomine sand fly Lutzomyia neivai was usually treated as a synonym of the morphologically similar Lutzomyia intermedia, which has long been considered a vector of Leishmania braziliensis, the causative agent of much ...
