| susceptibility to leishmania major of different populations of phlebotomus papatasi (diptera: psychodidae) from endemic and non-endemic regions of egypt. | the ability of three populations of phlebotomus papatasi collected from different areas of egypt (sinai, aswan and delta regions) to acquire successfully and transmit leishmania major (sinai sandfly isolate ipap/eg/89/si-177) was evaluated in the laboratory. flies from each population were fed artificially on infected blood suspensions, using a chick-skin-membrane feeding apparatus, and naturally on infected mice. samples of fed flies were dissected and examined microscopically to determine the ... | 1998 | 9614454 |
| the effect of leishmania major on some biological parameters of phlebotomus papatasi (diptera: psychodidae) from endemic and non-endemic areas in egypt. | biological activities of two populations of phlebotomus papatasi collected from two different areas in egypt (sinai and aswan) and the effect of leishmania major on such activities were investigated under insectary conditions. a significant reduction (p < 0.05) was observed in the number of eggs laid by the infected females when compared to the non-infected females of the tested populations. the immatures of the aswan population required a longer period (p < 0.05) to complete larval development. ... | 1999 | 10605484 |
