Seasonal Variation in the Prevalence of Sand Flies Infected with Leishmania donovani [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a life threatening neglected infectious disease in the Indian subcontinent, transmitted by the bite of female sand flies. Estimation of the infectivity in the vector population, collected in different seasons, may be useful

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.

Bartonella spp. in Phlebotominae Sand Flies, Brazil. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis
Bartonella spp. are opportunistic, vectorborne bacteria that can cause disease in both animals and humans. We investigated the molecular occurrence of Bartonella spp. in 634 phlebotomine sand fly specimens, belonging to 44 different sand fly species, sampled during 2017-2021 in north and northeastern Brazil. We detected Bartonella sp.

Sand fly identification and screening for Leishmania spp. in six provinces of Thailand

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors of Leishmania spp. At least 27 species of sand flies have been recorded in Thailand. Although human leishmaniasis cases in Thailand are mainly imported, autochthonous leishmaniasis has been increasingly ...

Sand Flies and Their Microbiota

Parasitologia, 2022
Sand flies are a significant public health concern in many parts of the world where they are known to transmit agents of several zoonotic diseases to humans, such as leishmaniasis. Vector control remains a key component of many anti-leishmaniasis programs and probably will remain so until an effective vaccine becomes available.

Porcisia transmission by prediuresis of sand flies

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Parasites of the genus Porcisia, together with the genus Endotrypanum, form a sister clade to the species-rich and medically important genus Leishmania. Both Porcisia species, P. hertigi and P. deanei, are dixenous parasites of Neotropical porcupines.
