Xenodiagnosis: use of mosquitoes for the diagnosis of arboviral infections [PDF]
The arboviruses have a worldwide distribution and, mosquitoes and ticks contribute principally intheir transmission. In the last two decades, arboviral diseases have been recognised due to theirresurgence and spread in newer geographic areas.

Leishmania infantum xenodiagnosis from vertically infected dogs reveals significant skin tropism. [PDF]
Background Dogs are the primary reservoir for human visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum . Phlebotomine sand flies maintain zoonotic transmission of parasites between dogs and humans.

Trypanosoma cruzi parasitemia observed in immunocompromised patients: the importance of the artificial xenodiagnosis [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi parasitemia observed in immunocompromised patients (transplant or positive HIV) occurred more frequently by the artificial xenodiagnosis method (10/38) compared with hemoculture (2/38), given the same quantity of blood.

Absence of both circadian rhythm and Trypanosoma cruzi periodicity with xenodiagnosis in chronic chagasic individuals Ausência de ritmo circadiano e de periodicidade do Trypanosoma cruzi ao xenodiagnóstico em chagásicos crônicos [PDF]
Xenodiagnoses were performed every 3 hours using 10 Triatoma infestans 3rd instar for 24 to 72 hours, in 18 chronic chagasics with positive serology and/or xenodiagnosis.

Heterogeneities in leishmania infantum infection : using skin parasite burdens to identify highly infectious dogs [PDF]
Background: The relationships between heterogeneities in host infection and infectiousness (transmission to arthropod vectors) can provide important insights for disease management.

Xenodiagnosis of Leishmania donovani in BALB/c mice using Phlebotomus orientalis: a new laboratory model [PDF]
Background In areas endemic for visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the majority of infected hosts remain asymptomatic but potentially infectious to biting sand flies.

Cutaneous allergic reactions to Triatoma infestans after xenodiagnosis [PDF]
We determined the frequency of cutaneous allergic reactions to bites of Triatoma infestans during xenodiagnosis in a rural community where Panstrongylus megistrus is the only domestic vector of Trypanosoma cruzi. Localized urticaria or more intense cutaneous allergic reactions at 48 and 72 hours were observed in 86.7% and 82.1% respectively of the ...

Laboratory evidence that dinotefuran, pyriproxyfen and permethrin combination abrogates Leishmania infantum transmissibility by sick dogs. [PDF]
The effect of dinotefuran, pyriproxyfen and permethrin spot‐on solution (Vectra®3D) on Leishmania infantum transmissibility by naturally sick dogs via reared Phlebotomus perniciosus, was assessed. Six dogs submitted to xenodiagnosis and infecting >10% of sand fly females were treated on day 0; anti‐transmissibility effects were evaluated again by ...
