leishmaniasis in sardinia. i. observations on a larval breeding site of phlebotomus perniciosus, phlebotomus perfiliewi perfiliewi and sergentomyia minuta (diptera: psychodidae) in the canine leishmaniasis focus of soleminis (cagliari).	during the summer-autumn period of 1983 and 1984, 1408 specimens of phlebotomus perniciosus, 74 of p. perfiliewi perfiliewi and 35 of sergentomyia minuta were caught in emergence traps in a locality close to the village of soleminis, a canine leishmaniasis focus 15 km from cagliari, sardinia. all the flies were collected from a breeding site inside an abandoned cement building. male flies were highly predominant for all three species. a few larvae of p. perniciosus were also collected from the s ...	1986	3800470
distribution of 'promoter' sandflies associated with incidence of classic kaposi's sarcoma.	the patchy geographical distributions of classic kaposi's sarcoma (ks) and human herpesvirus type 8 (hhv-8), better known as kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (kshv) remain unexplained. it has been proposed that certain species of bloodsucking insects ('promoter arthropods') promote the reactivation of hhv-8/kshv and facilitate both hhv-8/kshv transmission and ks development. this hypothesis was tested by sampling the presence and density of human-biting diptera with cdc light traps in two ...	2009	19712152
