| recent observations on the sand fly (diptera: psychodidae) fauna of the state of rondônia, western amazônia, brazil: the importance of psychdopygus davisi as a vector of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. | sand flies were collected in the central region of the state of rondônia (w 64 degrees 30' to 63 degrees 00' and s 10 degrees 00'to 11 degrees 00') using shannon and cdc light traps from october 1997 to august 2000. a total of 85,850 specimens representing 78 named species were captured. of these 14 were new records for rondônia. the proportion of males/females was 1/1.131. trypanosomatids, that are presently being identified, were detected in 11 species. leishmania (viannia) naiffi was recorded ... | 2003 | 14595450 |
| species structure of sand fly (diptera: psychodidae) fauna in the brazilian western amazon. | we surveyed areas of the state of rondônia in western amazon for phlebotomine, which are potential vectors of leishmaniasis. a total of 5,998 specimens were captured, resulting in the identification of 48 species within the lutzomyia (99.98%) and brumptomyia (0.02%) genera. the predominant species was lutzomyia davisi, followed by lutzomyia umbratilis, lutzomyia llanosmartinsi, lutzomyia c. carrerai, lutzomyia dendrophyla, lutzomyia nevesi and lutzomyia whitmani. all sand flies identified as vec ... | 2009 | 20027459 |
| a mitochondrial dna phylogeny indicates close relationships between populations of lutzomyia whitmani (diptera: psychodidae, phlebotominae) from the rain-forest regions of amazônia and northeast brazil. | phylogenetic analysis of all 31 described mitochondrial (cytochrome b) haplotypes of lutzomyia whitmani demonstrated that new material from the state of rondônia, in southwest amazônia, forms a clade within a lineage found only in the rain-forest regions of brazil. this rain-forest lineage also contains two other clades of haplotypes, one from eastern amazônia and one from the atlantic forest zone of northeast brazil (including the type locality of the species in ilhéus, state of bahia). these f ... | 1999 | 10419383 |
