Association between environmental conservation status and the abundance phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease transmitted by sand flies bites and is highly endemic in Brazil. This study evaluated the presence and abundance of sand flies in managed (clean) and unmanaged (dirty) peridomestic environments associated with ...

Influence of Fat Oil Binding Capacity on Shelf‐Life and Consumer Acceptance of a Chocolate‐Based Model System

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In chocolate‐coated products, oil migration can lead to chocolate softening and discoloration, filling hardening, and reduced consumer acceptance. This study examined three fats (soy‐, palm‐, and palm‐kernel (PK) based), crystallized under different conditions (cooling rate and high intensity ultrasound (HIU)) with differing oil binding ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Identification of French Guiana sand flies using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry with a new mass spectra library.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Phlebotomine sand flies are insects that are highly relevant in medicine, particularly as the sole proven vectors of leishmaniasis. Accurate identification of sand fly species is an essential prerequisite for eco-epidemiological studies aiming to better ...

DNA barcoding for the identification of sand fly species (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) in Colombia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Sand flies include a group of insects that are of medical importance and that vary in geographic distribution, ecology, and pathogen transmission. Approximately 163 species of sand flies have been reported in Colombia.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

An entomological survey of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in different areas of Thailand

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research
Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are significant medical vectors of pathogens that cause illness in humans and animals. The most significant of these is the genus Leishmania (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae). Leishmaniasis is an important vector-borne

Molecular identification of phlebotomine sand flies and the harbored Leishmania spp. in Sokoto State, Nigeria

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionFemale sand flies are hematophagous, feeding on animals and in the process serve as vectors for Leishmania, the parasites that cause leishmaniasis in humans.

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...
