| [sandfly fauna (diptera: psychodidae) in a focus of american cutaneous leishmaniasis on the urban periphery of manaus, state of amazonas]. | from august 2001 to july 2002, sand flies were collected from the bases of trees and, using cdc and disney traps, from areas surrounding homes and forested areas in the são joão community, on the urban periphery of manaus, state of amazonas. 4,104 specimens belonging to four subtribes, 13 genera and 49 species of the phlebotominae subfamily were collected. the subtribe psychodopygina predominated, with 3,403 (83%) specimens, especially of nyssomyia umbratilis, nyssomyia anduzei, trichophoromyia ... | 2008 | 19009191 |
| diversity and distribution of sandflies (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) in a military area in the state of amazonas, brazil. | this study reports the distribution, ecotopes and fauna diversity of sandflies captured in five training bases on a military reserve in manaus, state of amazonas (am). a total of 10,762 specimens were collected, which were distributed among 58 species, with the highest number recorded at base instruction 1 (bi1). a higher rate of species richness was found at the base instruction boina rajada and low levels of diversity associated with a high abundance index with the clear dominance of lutzomyia ... | 0 | 23903983 |
| molecular taxonomy of the two leishmania vectors lutzomyia umbratilis and lutzomyia anduzei (diptera: psychodidae) from the brazilian amazon. | lutzomyia umbratilis (a probable species complex) is the main vector of leishmania guyanensis in the northern region of brazil. lutzomyia anduzei has been implicated as a secondary vector of this parasite. these species are closely related and exhibit high morphological similarity in the adult stage; therefore, they have been wrongly identified, both in the past and in the present. this shows the need for employing integrated taxonomy. | 2013 | 24021095 |
| genetic diversity and population structure in the leishmania guyanensis vector lutzomyia anduzei (diptera, psychodidae) from the brazilian amazon. | lutzomyia (nyssomyia) anduzei has been recognized as a secondary vector of leishmania guyanensis in the brazilian amazon region. since l. anduzei is anthropophilic, co-exists in areas of high leishmaniasis transmission and has been found infected with l. guyanensis, the understanding of the vector population structure and of the process responsible for it is paramount to the vector management and control efforts. in this study we analyzed 74 and 67 sequences of the coi and cytb loci, respectivel ... | 2015 | 25701124 |
| sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) from the brazilian atlantic forest domain collected with malaise traps. | here, we present the results of a 2-yr sampling using malaise traps along the atlantic forest domain from the northeast to the south of brazil. in total, 217 sand flies were collected, of which the most abundant species was bichromomyia flaviscutellata (mangabeira, 1942) (60.4%), followed by psychodopygus ayrozai (barretto & coutinho, 1940) (11%) and micropygomyia schreiberi (martins, falcão & silva, 1975) (4.1%), and the remaining less abundant species comprised 10.1% of the total of sand flies ... | 2016 | 27343176 |
| phlebotomine sand flies (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) in urban rainforest fragments, manaus -- amazonas state, brazil. | the non-flooded upland rainforest fragment in the federal university of amazonas campus is considered one of the world's largest urban tropical woodland areas and brazil's second largest one in an urban setting. it is located in the city of manaus, state of amazonas at 03° 04' 34″ s, 59° 57' 30″ w, in an area covering nearly 800 hectares. forty-one (41) sand fly species belonging to genus lutzomyia were found attaining a total of 4662 specimens collected. lutzomyia umbratilis was the dominant sp ... | 2013 | 23352955 |
