| species composition of sand flies and bionomics of phlebotomus papatasi and p. sergenti (diptera: psychodidae) in cutaneous leishmaniasis endemic foci, morocco. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is one of the most neglected tropical diseases in morocco. leishmania major and l. tropica are the main culprits identified in all endemic foci across the country. these two etiological agents are transmitted by phlebotomus papatasi and p. sergenti, the two most prevalent sand fly species in morocco. previous studies reflected gaps of knowledge regarding the environmental fingerprints that affect the distribution of these two potential vectors across morocco. | 2016 | 26830689 |

| first report on natural infection of phlebotomus sergenti with leishmania promastigotes in the cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in southeastern tunisia. | during september 2010, 133 female sand flies were caught inside houses of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in the focus for this disease in southeastern tunisia and subsequently dissected. one specimen was positive for leishmania protozoa. this sand fly species was identified as phlebotomus sergenti, and the parasite was identified as l. tropica. this is the first report of p. sergenti involvement in transmission of l. tropica in tunisia. | 2011 | 21976566 |
| seasonality and prevalence of leishmania major infection in phlebotomus duboscqi neveu-lemaire from two neighboring villages in central mali. | phlebotomus duboscqi is the principle vector of leishmania major, the causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl), in west africa and is the suspected vector in mali. although found throughout the country the seasonality and infection prevalence of p. duboscqi has not been established in mali. we conducted a three year study in two neighboring villages, kemena and sougoula, in central mali, an area with a leishmanin skin test positivity of up to 45%. during the first year, we evaluated the o ... | 2011 | 21572984 |
| the phlebotomine fauna (diptera: psychodidae) of the eastern coast of tunisia. | to identify the phlebotomine sand fly populations of the eastern coast of tunisia, an entomological survey was carried out between september and october 2005 at 71 sites located in three districts. cdc light traps and sticky papers were used to collect a total of 2,138 phlebotomine sand flies representing nine species. the predominant species occurring on the eastern coast of tunisia are, in order of abundance, phlebotomus longicuspis nitzulescu, 1930 (40%); phlebotomus papatasi scopoli, 1786 (2 ... | 2009 | 19198511 |
| transcriptome exploration of the sex pheromone gland of lutzomyia longipalpis (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae). | molecules involved in pheromone biosynthesis may represent alternative targets for insect population control. this may be particularly useful in managing the reproduction of lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector of the protozoan parasite leishmania infantum in latin america. besides the chemical identity of the major components of the l. longipalpis sex pheromone, there is no information regarding the molecular biology behind its production. to understand this process, obtaining information on ... | 2013 | 23497448 |
| phlebotomine sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) of the genus sergentomyia in marrakech region, morocco. | we reported the results of an entomological investigation in marrakech area, in the aim to study the present sergentomyia species composition. one hundred thirty seven sandflies were collected by sticky papers and they comprised three sub-genera: parrotomyia (43.1%), sergentomyia (36.5%), and grassomyia (20.4%). four species were identified; sergentomyia (parrotomyia) africana newstead (43.1%) followed by s. (grassomyia) dreyfussi parrot, s. (sergentomyia) fallax parrot, and s. (s.) minuta ronda ... | 2009 | 19043738 |

| faunistic study of the sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) in an emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in al haouz province, morocco. | the moroccan province of al haouz is an emerging focus of human cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica. in an entomological investigation of three communes in the province (ourika, stti fatma and rhmate), 3440 sandflies were collected on sticky traps in 2005-2007. of the six phlebotomus species caught, phlebotomus papatasi (13.3% of the total collection), p. sergenti (12.8%) and p. perniciosus (12.8%) were predominant, followed by p. longicuspis (7.9%), p. ariasi (2.6%) and p. alex ... | 2009 | 19173778 |
| distribution, species composition and relative abundances of sandflies in north waziristan agency, pakistan. | this study was conducted to investigate the diversity of sandflies (psychodidae: phlebotominae) and the incidence of leishmaniasis in three villages of north waziristan agency, pakistan. sandflies were sampled monthly during 2012, at dusk and dawn, in selected indoor habitats including both bedrooms and animal sheds using a knock-down spray catch method. a total of 3687 sandflies were collected, including 1444 individuals in drezanda, 1193 in damdil and 1050 in dattakhel. this study revealed 14 ... | 2016 | 26582763 |
