| [entomological survey of sandflies (diptera, psychodidae) in the province of l'aquila (abruzzo)]. | a survey on phlebotomine sandflies (diptera, psychodidae) was carried out in the province of l'aquila, abruzzo region (italy). ten collecting sites at altitudes between 700 and 1,070 m a.s.l., produced a total of 324 specimens (81.1% males), 72.86% being phlebotomus perniciosus, 3.08% p. mascittii, 0.30% p. papatasi and 23.76% sergentomyia minuta. the collecting sites at 1,070, 950 and 775 m a.s.l. are the highest levels recorded in italy for p. perniciosus, p. mascittii and p. papatasi, respect ... | 1991 | 1844502 |
| natural infection of phlebotomus perfiliewi with leishmania infantum in a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus of the abruzzi region, italy. | one out of 213 phlebotomus perfiliewi caught from an endemic cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in abruzzi region (italy) was naturally infected with promastigotes. the parasites were grown in culture medium and in a hamster, typed by the examination of 11 isoenzymes, and found to be indistinguishable from leishmania infantum s.st. (montpellier zymodeme 1). the probable role of p. perfiliewi in the transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to l. infantum s.l. in the focus is discussed. | 1987 | 3445341 |
| leishmania infantum sensu lato as an agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in abruzzi region (italy). | the extreme difficulty of culturing in vitro parasites from italian causes of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) has so far been a handicap to their biochemical identification. a technique based on the "transient growth" of promastigotes originating from parasites visceralized in lhc inbred hamsters was used. through this technique, promastigote extracts of seven leishmania isolates from cl cases from the abruzzi region were obtained. isoenzyme profiles of these isolates and reference strains of l. tr ... | 1987 | 3617184 |
