| its 2 sequences heterogeneity in phlebotomus sergenti and phlebotomus similis (diptera, psychodidae): possible consequences in their ability to transmit leishmania tropica. | an intraspecific study on phlebotomus sergenti, the main and only proven vector of leishmania tropica among the members of the subgenus paraphlebotomus was performed. the internal transcribed spacer 2 (its2) sequences of 12 populations from 10 countries (cyprus, egypt, italy, lebanon, morocco, pakistan, portugal, spain, syria, and turkey) were compared. samples also included three species closely related to p. sergenti: phlebotomus similis (three populations from greece and malta), phlebotomus j ... | 2002 | 12117495 |
| incrimination of phlebotomus kandelakii and phlebotomus balcanicus as vectors of leishmania infantum in tbilisi, georgia. | a survey of potential vector sand flies was conducted in the neighboring suburban communities of vake and mtatsminda districts in an active focus of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) in tbilisi, georgia. using light and sticky-paper traps, 1,266 male and 1,179 female sand flies were collected during 2006-2008. five phlebotomus species of three subgenera were collected: phlebotomus balcanicus theodor and phlebotomus halepensis theodor of the subgenus adlerius; phlebotomus kandelakii shchurenkova and ph ... | 2012 | 22509422 |
| distribution, fauna and seasonal variation of sandflies, simultaneous detection of nuclear internal transcribed spacer ribosomal dna gene of leishmania major in rhombomys opimus and phlebotomus papatasi, in natanz district in central part of iran. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) due to leishmania major is increasing in many parts of iran. this disease originally is a disease found in gerbils. leishmania parasites are transmitted by sandflies that live and breed in gerbil burrows. nested pcr amplified leishmania its1-5.8s rrna gene in both main reservoir host "rhombomys opimus" and in the "phlebotomus papatasi" main vector of zcl, in iran. population differentiation and seasonal variation of sandflies were analyzed at a microgeograp ... | 0 | 22801285 |
| molecular characterization of leishmania infection from naturally infected sand flies caught in a focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis (eastern iran). | cutaneous leishmaniasis due to leishmania major is a serious and increasing problem affecting many rural areas of 17 out of 31 provinces in iran. little is known about sand fly fauna and leishmaniases in eastern iran and no study has been carried out in sarbisheh county. the aim of this study was to determine sand flies composition and probable leishmania infection to find the probable vectors of leishmaniasis in sarbisheh district. | 2013 | 24409437 |
