| studies of phlebotomine sand fly (diptera: psychodidae) populations in limestone areas and caves of western malaysia. | phlebotomine sand flies were collected using co2 baited cdc light trap in 2000 and 2001 in limestone areas and caves of western malaysia. a total of 1,548 specimens were collected comprising 18 species from two genera: phlebotomus (6 spp) and sergentomyia (12 spp). phlebotomus major major (38.9%) was the predominant species followed by sergentomyia perturbans (20.1%), p. stantoni (15.3%) and others. biting activity of the sand flies at the gua senyum caves, gua kota gelanggi, batu caves and gua ... | 2011 | 21323169 |
| Seasonal distribution of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Tham Phra Phothisat temple, Saraburi province, Thailand. | Phlebotomine sand flies have long been incriminated as vectors of leishmaniasis in various parts of both the Old and New World. Prompted by recent indigenous cases of leishmaniasis in Thailand, a bionomic study of sand flies was undertaken in Tham Phra Phothisat temple, Saraburi province. In this study, sand flies were collected using Centers for Disease Control (CDC) light traps, to clarify the activity patterns and species composition of the sand flies. Traps were laid from August 20 ... | 2011 | 22041758 |
| detection of natural infection of leishmania donovani (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) in phlebotomus argentipes (diptera: psychodidae) from a forest ecosystem in the western ghats, india, endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis. | a new focus of transmission of leishmania donovani causing cutaneous manifestations (cl) was reported by us earlier, in the western ghats region of thiruvananthapuram district, kerala, india. 12,253 sand fly specimens, comprising of three species belonging to the genus phlebotomus (24.7%) and 16 species belonging to the genus sergentomyia (57.3%) were collected from the region during 2012-2014. among phlebotomus species, phlebotomus argentipes was found predominant (77.3%), followed by phlebotom ... | 2016 | 26774685 |
| phlebotomine sand flies of edible-nest swiftlet cave of lang ga jiew island, chumphon province, thailand. | the present study reported for the first time phlebotomine sandfly species inhabiting edible-nest swiftlet cave of the isolated island, based on field collections made during june 2010-may 2011. the insect diversity was relatively lower to that of mainland caves. all species, phlebotomus stantoni, sergentomyia anodontis, sergentomyia bailyi, sergentomyia gemmea, sergentomyia hodgsoni and sergentomyia punjabensis were either endemic island species or native elsewhere in thailand. sergentomyia hod ... | 2015 | 26695199 |
| detection of an unknown trypanosoma dna in a phlebotomus stantoni (diptera: psychodidae) collected from southern thailand and records of new sand flies with reinstatement of sergentomyia hivernus raynal & gaschen, 1935 (diptera: psychodidae). | although female sand flies are best known as the vectors of leishmania parasites and viruses, several previous reports have demonstrated that these insects can also act as vectors for the trypanosomes of bats, lizards, and snakes. in this report, we created an inventory of phlebotomine sand flies from southern thailand. a novel trypanosome was found in a specimen of phlebotomus stantoni, and two sand fly species newly recorded in the country, sergentomyia khawi and sergentomyia hivernus, were de ... | 2017 | 27744363 |
| a new cavernicolous sand fly from cambodia: idiophlebotomus nicolegerae n. sp. (diptera: psychodidae). | cambodia is an area considered free of leishmaniasis and consequently little is known of its' phlebotomine sand fly fauna. only six species of sand flies have previously been recorded: sergentomyia barraudi, sergentomyia pertubans, sergentomyia bailyi, sergentomyia silvatica, sergentomyia khawi and grassomyia indica and none belonging to the genus phlebotomus. during an inventory carried out in cambodia, we caught a new species, belonging to the genus idiophlebotomus, in a cave. we describe the ... | 2016 | 26655043 |

| wing geometry of phlebotomus stantoni and sergentomyia hodgsoni from different geographical locations in thailand. | geographic populations of the two main sandflies genera present in thailand were studied for species and population identification. size and shape of phlebotomus stantoni and sergentomyia hodgsoni from different island and mainland locations were examined by landmark-based geometric morphometrics. intraspecific and interspecific wing comparison was carried out based on 12 anatomical landmarks. the wing centroid size of p. stantoni was generally larger than that of s. hodgsoni. within both specie ... | 2017 | 27890576 |
| species diversity and seasonality of phlebotomine sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) in satun province, thailand. | leishmaniasis is prevalent mainly in the southern provinces of thailand where sand flies are considered to be an important vector. sand flies were collected using centers for disease control (cdc) light traps in satun province from june 2013 to july 2014. a total of 1,982 sand flies (1,228 females and 754 males) were collected. only female sand flies were identified to the species level and were tested for leishmania infection using polymerase chain reaction (pcr). morphological identification r ... | 2015 | 26863857 |
