| cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania major in baringo district, kenya. | leishmania major was isolated from lesions of a patient suffering from cutaneous leishmaniasis in baringo district of kenya. isoenzyme mobilities of this strain were compared with those of l. major, l. donovani, l. aethiopica and l. tropica reference strains and also l. major from a sand fly, phlebotomus duboscqi, and a rodent, arvicanthis niloticus, trapped in the same region. the patient's isolate had similar banding patterns to the l. major reference strain and also the rodent and the sand fl ... | 1987 | 3445343 |
| laboratory investigations on the survival and fecundity of phlebotomus duboscqi (diptera, psychodidae), a vector of leishmania major in kenya. | the gonotrophic cycle, survival and reproductive potential of adult female phlebotomus duboscqi, a vector of leishmania major in baringo district, kenya was investigated in the laboratory. the sandflies were fed on hamster and apples as a sugar source and were placed in vials for oviposition. the feeding and care for oviposition was repeated for as long as the flies lived. the longest period p. duboscqi survived after taking the first blood meal was 45 days. the flies completed up to eight gonot ... | 1987 | 3629141 |
| cutaneous leishmaniasis in kenya: transmission of leishmania major to man by the bite of a naturally infected phlebotomus duboscqi. | one leishmanial stock was isolated from a phlebotomus duboscqi female captured in baringo district, kenya, and others from papular lesions that developed at sites where this sandfly had fed on a man. when characterized by cellulose acetate electrophoresis (eight enzymes examined), these isolates proved to be identical to known leishmania major strains from man and a rodent (arvicanthis sp.) and different from l. donovani and l. adleri, which also occur in baringo. this is the first case of human ... | 1984 | 6533846 |
