| cutaneous leishmaniasis of man due to leishmania (viannia) shawi lainson, de souza, póvoa, ishikawa & silveira, in pará state, brazil. | leishmania (viannia) shawi lainson, braga, de souza, póvoa, ishikawa & silveira, 1989, was originally recorded from monkeys (cebus apella and chiropotes satanas), sloths (choloepus didactylus and bradypus tridactylus) and coatis (nasua nasua) and the sandfly, lutzomyia whitmani. with a panel of leishmania specific monoclonal antibodies, it was found that 30.5% of the leishmania strains from patients, who had contracted cutaneous leishmaniasis in pará state, were similar, but not identical to l. ... | 1991 | 1822654 |
| leishmania (viannia) shawi sp. n., a parasite of monkeys, sloths and procyonids in amazonian brazil. | leishmania (viannia) shawi sp. n., is described from the monkeys cebus apella and chiropotes satanus, the sloths choloepus didactylus and bradypus tridactylus, the procyonid nasua nasua, and the phlebotomine sandfly lutzomyia whitmani, all from primary forest in the state of pará, north brazil. l. (v.) shawi is variably distinguished from all other known species within the subgenus viannia by a combination of biological, biochemical and serological characters, as revealed by studies on morpholog ... | 1989 | 2504099 |
| [epidemiological characteristics of american cutaneous leishmaniasis in an endemic region of the state of bahia. iii. phlebotomine fauna]. | the phlebotomine fauna is highly varied in três braços, an endemic area of american cutaneous leishmaniasis, situated in the cacao growing region in the southeast of bahia state, brazil. thirty spécies of the lutzomyia genus were identified in 13,535 specimens collected between 1976 and 1984. lutzomyia whitmani was the dominant species accounting for 99% of flies in the peridomicile and 97.5% of those caught in homes. in the forest the predominant species were lu. ayrozai and lu. yuilli. lu. whi ... | 1986 | 3574127 |
| variation between geographical populations of lutzomyia (nyssomyia) whitmani (antunes & coutinho, 1939) sensu lato (diptera:psychodidae:phlebotominae) in brazil. | phylogenetic analysis of morphometric and biological characters indicated that there are two distinct forms of lutzomyia whitmani in brazil: one is present both north and south of the river amazonas in the state of pará while the other occurs in northeast brazil, in the state of ceará, and further south, including the type locality in state of bahia. the amazonian form is reportedly neither strongly anthropophilic nor synanthropic, and it is the vector of leishmania shawi; whereas the southern f ... | 1996 | 8734947 |
