| [ecological characteristics of subgenera larroussius and adelius (diptera, phlebotominae) sandflies--vectors for pathogens of visceral leishmaniasis]. | the spiracle indices were determined in 1153 specimens from 5 species of the subgenus larroussius (diptera, phlebotominae): phlebotomus neglectus, p. perfiliewi, p. tobbi, p. kandelakii, and p. smirnovi) and 2 species of the subgenus adlerius: p. brevis and p. longiductus. these species are all documented or potential vectors of leishmania infantum, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis. the spiracle index is related to the rate of its evaporization and it is an important ecological inde ... | 2001 | 11680367 |
