| epidemiological and nosological aspects of leishmania naiffi lainson & shaw, 1989. | leishmania naiffi was isolated from 10 out of 64 armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus) examined in amazonas, pará and rondônia states in the brazilian amazon region. the isolates were obtained in culture from samples of liver (3), spleen (3), lymph nodes (2), skin (1) and blood (1) from the infected animals. heavy infections with the same parasite were detected for the first time in psychodopygus squamiventris, a common man-biting phlebotomine, in amazonas and pará. a new case of cutaneous leishmani ... | 1991 | 1842423 |
| phlebotomines (diptera: psychodidae) in a hydroelectric system affected area from northern amazonian brazil: further insights into the effects of environmental changes on vector ecology. | during 2012-2015, an entomological survey was conducted as part of a phlebotomine (diptera: psychodidae) monitoring program in an area influenced by the santo antônio do jari hydroelectric system (amapá state, brazil). the purpose was to study aspects of amazon/guianan american cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) vectors subjected to stresses by anthropogenic environmental changes. for sampling, cdc light traps were positioned 0.5, 1, and 20 m above ground at five capture locations along the jari rive ... | 2016 | 28042300 |
| [sandflies (diptera, psychodidae) from an endemic leishmaniasis area in the cerrado region of the state of maranhão, brazil]. | this article presents a list of ten sandfly species from the genus lutzomyia frança, 1924 found in the counties of aldeias altas, capinzal do norte, caxias, codó, coelho neto, timbiras, timon and tuntum in northeastern maranhão, brazil. presence of sandflies was associated with cases of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis. some 377 specimens were captured indoors with cdc light traps and 1491 specimens in the peridomicile. the species were: lutzomyia cortelezii, lutzomyia evandroi, lutzomyia go ... | 1999 | 10502159 |
| natural leishmania (viannia) infections of phlebotomines (diptera: psychodidae) indicate classical and alternative transmission cycles of american cutaneous leishmaniasis in the guiana shield, brazil. | from 1996 to 1999 multi-trapping methods (center of diseases control, cdc) light traps, light-baited shannon traps, and aspiration on tree bases) were used to study the phlebotomine fauna of the "serra do navio" region of the brazilian state of amapá, which is part of the guiana shield. fifty-three species were identified among 8,685 captured individuals. the following species, associated with the transmission of american cutaneous leishmaniasis in amazonian brazil, were captured: nyssomyia umbr ... | 2017 | 28508745 |
| phlebotomine sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) associated with changing patterns in the transmission of the human cutaneous leishmaniasis in french guiana. | between march 2000 and december 2001 a survey of the sand flies (diptera: phlebotominae) of french guiana was carried out during 14 nights of captures with cdc light-traps and malaise traps, and resulted in the collection of 2245 individuals of 38 species. the most abundant species were lutzomyia (trichophoromyia) ininii floch & abonnenc, lu.(psychodopygus) squamiventris maripaensis floch & abonnenc, and lu .(nyssomyia) flaviscutellata mangabeira. half of the collected sand flies females were di ... | 2007 | 17293996 |
