| preliminary account of the phenology of some nigerian savanna phlebotomine sandflies (diptera: psychodidae). | a total of 1,705 sandflies was collected by sticky trap from the guinea savanna of northern nigeria to determine their seasonal and spatial fluctuations in abundance. adult sandflies persisted throughout the year, but the highest diversity and abundance were recorded at the end of the rainy season. females were collected more frequently than were males. the species collected in order of decreasing abundance were sergentomyia antennata newstead, s. bedfordi newstead, s. africana newstead, s. schw ... | 1991 | 1941922 |
| the distribution of phlebotomine sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) in northern nigeria. | a survey was carried out in northern nigeria to determine the distribution of the species of phlebotomine sandflies in the major vegetation zones: sahel, sudan, northern guinea savanna, and southern guinea savanna. the two old world genera, phlebotomus and sergentomyia, are both represented in the study area, with an overwhelming preponderance of sergentomyia species; about 99% of the entire collection (12, 951 specimens) belong to the genus sergentomyia. out of the thirteen species identified, ... | 1990 | 2382099 |
| a possible role for phlebotmus (anaphlebotmous) rodhaini (parrot 1930) in transmission of leishmania donovani. | abstract: background: visceral leishmaniasis (vl, kala azar), caused by leishmania donovani is a major health problem in sudan and other east african countries. in this region the only proven vectors of l. donovani are phlebotomus orientalis in eastern sudan, ethiopia and upper nile areas of southern sudan and phlebotomus martini in ethiopia, kenya and southern sudan. in this report, we present the first evidence that phlebotomus rodhaini may also play a role in maintaining transmission of l. d ... | 2011 | 22188864 |
| sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) in a focus of visceral leishmaniasis in white nile, sudan. | visceral leishmaniasis (vl) has been known to occur since the 1980s on the western bank of the white nile river (central sudan), 150 km south of khartoum, and has resulted in high mortality. the most recent outbreak of the disease in this area began in 2006. entomological surveys were carried out during may 2008, june 2010 and may and july 2011 in the white nile area. sandflies were collected using centers for disease control light traps and sticky oil traps in the village of kadaba and the near ... | 2012 | 22666856 |
| diversity of sand flies (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) in two different eco-climatic and endemic zones of cutaneous leishmaniasis in mali, west africa. | being the only established vectors of the protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania, sand flies have become very important in all countries where leishmaniasis exists. to better understand the sand fly fauna, a taxonomic inventory study was carried out between january and march 2012 in soudan savannah (boundioba, sikasso) and sahelian (tieneguebougou, koulikoro) areas of mali. cdc light traps were used to collect the sand flies. collected sand flies specimens were cleaned with lacto-phenol and ... | 2016 | 27247347 |
