| ecological aspects of phlebotomine sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) from a cave of the speleological province of bambuí, brazil. | phlebotomines are invertebrate hosts of leishmania genus species which are etiological agents of leishmaniases in humans and other mammals. sandflies are often collected in entomological studies of caves both in the inner area and the adjacent environments. caves are ecotypes clearly different from the external environment. several caves have been opened to public visitation before any studies were performed and the places do not have scientific monitoring of the fauna, flora, geological and geo ... | 2013 | 24130847 |
| studies on the sand fly fauna (diptera: psychodidae) in high-transmission areas of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the republic of suriname. | sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) are the vectors of leishmania parasites, the causative agents of leishmaniasis. cutaneous leishmaniasis is an increasing public health problem in the republic of suriname and is mainly caused by leishmania (vianna) guyanensis, but l. (v.) braziliensis, l. (l.) amazonensis, and l. (v.) naiffi also infect humans. transmission occurs predominantly in the forested hinterland of the country. information regarding the potential vectors of leishmaniasis in suriname is ... | 2013 | 24499490 |
| survey of sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) in an environmentally protected area in brazil. | brazil is one of the most important endemic areas for leishmaniasis worldwide. protected areas that are tourist attractions likely present an important risk of transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl). furthermore, with the geographical expansion of visceral leishmaniasis (vl), several studies have recorded the occurrence of its vector, lutzomyia longipalpis, and cases of human and canine vl in such tourist areas. the parque estadual do sumidouro is an environmentally protected area located ... | 2015 | 26267484 |
