Species distribution and screening of Trypanosoma DNA in phlebotomine sand flies from four southern provinces of Thailand [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Sand flies are principal vectors of Leishmania spp. and Trypanosoma spp. Identifying precise vector species is crucial for effective control. We conducted a study on the species distribution of phlebotomine sand flies in cave-dwelling and non-cave ...

Sand Fly Fauna and Prevalence of Leishmania spp. in a Newly Investigated Area of Northern Italy: Emerging Epidemiological Scenarios? [PDF]

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Since the 1990s, cases of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum have risen in northern Italy due to dog translocation and movement as well as for climate‐driven sand fly population growth. In this geographical region, for a long time regarded as non‐endemic for CanL, L.

Hidden in plain sight: discovery of sand flies in Singapore and description of four species new to science [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are tiny, blood-sucking insects that are of significant public and veterinary health importance for their role in the transmission of Leishmania parasites, bacteria, and arboviruses. Although sand

A morphological and molecular study of phlebotomine sand flies of Taiwan reveals the record of six species [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Phlebotomine sand flies, the key vectors in the transmission of Leishmania parasites, pose a global health challenge. Although leishmaniasis has been reported in the indigenous Taiwanese population, the last sand fly survey, based on ...

Morphological and molecular diagnosis of two new species of Trypanosoma Gruby, 1843 infecting South African cordylid lizards (Squamata: Cordylidae: Cordylinae), Trypanosoma (Squamatrypanum) ndumoensis n. sp. and Trypanosoma (Trypanosoma) tokoloshi n. sp.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 70, Issue 4, July/August 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite reptile trypanosomes forming a large group, the majority of species descriptions are data deficient, lacking key characteristic data and supporting molecular data. Reptile hosts show potential to facilitate transmission of zoonotic trypanosomiases and offer key information to understanding the genus of Trypanosoma.
