New molecular markers for phlebotomine sand flies [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology, 2001 Using degenerate-primers PCR we isolated and sequenced fragments from the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis homologous to two behavioural genes in Drosophila, cacophony and period. In addition we identified a number of other gene fragments that show homology to genes previously cloned in Drosophila. A codon usage table for L.

Sand flies, Leishmania, and transcriptome-borne solutions [PDF]
Parasitology International, 2009 Sand fly-parasite and sand fly-host interactions play an important role in the transmission of leishmaniasis. Vector molecules relevant for such interactions include midgut and salivary proteins. These potential targets for interruption of propagation of Leishmania parasites have been poorly characterized.

First Detection and Molecular Analysis of Leishmania infantum DNA in Sand Flies of Kosovo
Pathogens, 2023 Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are the principal vectors of phleboviruses and Leishmania spp., the causative agents of leishmaniases. The Mediterranean sand fly fauna is diverse, and leishmaniasis, mainly caused by Leishmania infantum, is

Sand Flies and Their Control Methods
Turkish Journal of Parasitology, 2017 The main aim of managing arthropod vectors that carry the disease agents is interrupting the infection cycle. Therefore, the management of the disease implies that all precautions related to all elements (i.e., human, arthropod vector, and reservoir) in the infection cycle need to be taken.

Relationships of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera) [PDF]
Memórias 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 the subfamilies Phlebotominae and Bruchomyiinae. A comparison is made between the evolution of Psychodidae and Phlebotomidae, and it is concluded that ...
