The complexities of blood‐feeding patterns in mosquitoes and sandflies and the burden of disease: A minireview

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
Mosquitoes and phlebotomine sandflies are infectious disease vectors through hematophagy. The development of hematophagy likely provided an evolutionary advantage, offering a rich nutrient source for reproduction.

The Phlebotomine sand fly fauna of Switzerland revisited

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 13-22, March 2024.
A new inventory of Phlebotomine sand flies of Switzerland has been created. Four species were recorded south to the Alps: Phlebotomus perniciosus, P. neglectus, P. mascittii and Sergentomyia minuta; and only P. mascittii north to the Alps. Phlebotomus neglectus is recorded for the first time in the country, most probably spreading from Northern Italy ...
