Morphological and Molecular Techniques as an Integrative Approach to Identifying Sandfly (Diptera: Psychodidae) Vectors of Leishmaniasis in the Jazan and Asir Regions, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Sandflies are the primary vectors of leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease of major public health concern in Saudi Arabia. While morphological identification remains the standard for species classification in the Jazan and Asir regions, distinguishing closely related taxa is often challenging and time‐consuming.

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

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.

Toscana Virus RNA in Sergentomyia minuta Flies

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To the Editor: Toscana virus (TOSV) (family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus) is an arthropodborne virus transmitted by sandflies. Reports of infections in travelers, clinical research, and epidemiologic studies have shown that TOSV affects the central nervous system and is a major cause of meningitis and encephalitis in Mediterranean countries in which

A cross‐sectional study on phlebotomine sand flies in relation to disease transmission in the Republic of Kosovo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 573-585, December 2024.
We provide the currently known sand fly distribution and species diversity in Kosovo, including a COI barcode inventory and distribution maps. Phlebotomus neglectus and Ph. perfiliewi were identified to be the predominant species and environmental analyses depicted two geographical groups of sand flies in Kosovo, with notable differences between the ...

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

Veterinary 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. These insects exhibit diverse blood‐feeding patterns, from invertebrates to various vertebrates. Multiple sensory cues to guide host‐seeking

Case of widespread and atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis in a young woman with breast cancer

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2024.
Key Clinical Message Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania. Atypical presentation and widespread progression of the lesions may be seen in an immunocompromised patient. We report a case of atypical and widespread cutaneous leishmaniasis in a young woman with breast cancer.

Do birds play a role in the transmission of Toscana virus? Initial isolation results from birds in northernmost Türkiye

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 225-235, May 2024.
Abstract Aims Recent research has prioritized emerging and re‐emerging diseases that affect human and animal health, particularly to describe how these diseases enter countries and determine their transmission cycles. Given that migratory birds play a significant role in spreading infections, the present study analysed their migration paths and ...
