characterization of constitutive and putative differentially expressed mrnas by means of expressed sequence tags, differential display reverse transcriptase-pcr and randomly amplified polymorphic dna-pcr from the sand fly vector lutzomyia longipalpis.	molecular studies of insect disease vectors are of paramount importance for understanding parasite-vector relationship. advances in this area have led to important findings regarding changes in vectors' physiology upon blood feeding and parasite infection. mechanisms for interfering with the vectorial capacity of insects responsible for the transmission of diseases such as malaria, chagas disease and dengue fever are being devised with the ultimate goal of developing transgenic insects. a primar ...	2001	11285481
plant extracts, isolated phytochemicals, and plant-derived agents which are lethal to arthropod vectors of human tropical diseases--a review.	the recent scientific literature on plant-derived agents with potential or effective use in the control of the arthropod vectors of human tropical diseases is reviewed. arthropod-borne tropical diseases include: amebiasis, chagas disease (american trypanosomiasis), cholera, cryptosporidiosis, dengue (hemorrhagic fever), epidemic typhus (brill-zinsser disease), filariasis (elephantiasis), giardia (giardiasis), human african trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), isosporiasis, leishmaniasis, lyme di ...	2011	21432748
