| [presence of loxosceles similis moenkhaus, 1898 (araneae, sicariidae) in serra da bodoquena, state of mato grosso do sul, brazil]. | the venom of loxosceles spiders causes dermonecrotic lesion and induces complement-dependent intravascular haemolysis that characterizes a severe systemic effect. in brazil, l. gaucho, l. intermedia and l. laeta, present in the anthropic environment, have been pointed out as the most important agents of the loxoscelism. besides these species there are others that, by predominating in the natural environment, have not been evaluated regarding human health risk, as in the case of loxosceles simili ... | 2001 | 11460214 |
| the finding of lutzomyia almerioi and lutzomyia longipalpis naturally infected by leishmania spp. in a cutaneous and canine visceral leishmaniases focus in serra da bodoquena, brazil. | to identify natural infections by leishmania spp. in insect vectors of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis, we performed field studies in natural and anthropic environments in the guaicurus settlement (bodoquena range) of the bonito municipality, mato grosso do sul state, brazil. from october 2002 to october 2003, a total of 1395 sandfly females were captured with shannon and light traps and dissected in search of flagellates. the sample is composed of a total of 13 species, with lutzomyia alme ... | 2009 | 19062193 |
