| [phlebotomus (paraphlebotomus) jacusieli theodor, 1947, a new species of sandflies for the fauna of the ussr]. | after examination of sandfly collection from agdam (azerbaijan ssr) it was stated that all sandflies previously identified as phlebotomus mongolensis belong to another species ph. jacusieli. ph. jacusieli has not been recorded in the fauna of ussr before. probably all records of ph. mongolensis in transcaucasia are wrong. description of ph. jacusieli and some ecological data are given. | 1978 | 622301 |

| discovery and study of leishmania turanica for the first time in china. | reported are the results of multidisciplinary studies on leishmania turanica, which was isolated from the auricular tissues of naturally infected great gerbils in xinjiang, china. discussed are the biology of the parasite, its molecular biology, its pathogenicity in rodents and humans and its vectors. this was the first time that l. turanica had been reported in china. l. turanica is highly pathogenic in balb/c mice, with the resulting systemic infection being lethal, and it causes dermal lesion ... | 1995 | 8846493 |
| transmembrane molecules for phylogenetic analyses of pathogenic protists: leishmania-specific informative sites in hydrophilic loops of trans- endoplasmic reticulum n-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase. | a sequence database was created for the leishmania n-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase (nagt) gene from 193 independent isolates. pcr products of this single-copy gene were analyzed for restriction fragment length polymorphism based on seven nagt sequences initially available. we subsequently sequenced 77 samples and found 19 new variants (genotypes). alignment of all 26 nagt sequences is gap free, except for a single codon addition or deletion. phylogenetic analyses of the sequences all ... | 2007 | 17142569 |
| phlebotomus caucasicus and phlebotomus mongolensis (diptera: psychodidae): indistinguishable by the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene in iran. | diagnostic molecular markers for the females of phlebotomus (paraphlebotomus) caucasicus and p. mongolensis were sought by characterizing from individual iranian specimens a gene fragment, namely mitochondrial cytochrome b, that had previously proven useful for the taxonomy of phlebotomine sandflies. males of both species were used as reference material because their external genitalia provide the only diagnostic morphological characters. a phylogenetic analysis of the new sequences, and those p ... | 2010 | 19939318 |
| phenology and population dynamics of sand flies in a new focus of visceral leishmaniasis in eastern azarbaijan province, north western of iran. | to investigate species composition, density, accumulated degree-day and diversity of sand flies during april to october 2010 in azarshahr district, a new focus of visceral leishmaniasis in north western iran. | 2011 | 21914536 |
| phlebotomine sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) in iran and their role on leishmania transmission. | sand fly research has a long history in iran beginning with the work of adler, theodor and lourie in 1930 and followed by mesghali's foundational taxonomic work on sand flies in 1943. since then, research has been continued unabated throughout the country and official publications report the existence of at least 44 species of sand flies (26 of the genus phlebotomus and 18 of genus sergentomyia) in iran. so far, seven phlebotomus species and one sergentomyia species have been collected and descr ... | 2012 | 23293774 |
| 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 |
| analysis of kinetoplast cytochrome b gene of 16 leishmania isolates from different foci of china: different species of leishmania in china and their phylogenetic inference. | leishmania species belong to the family trypanosomatidae and cause leishmaniasis, a geographically widespread disease that infects humans and other vertebrates. this disease remains endemic in china. due to the large geographic area and complex ecological environment, the taxonomic position and phylogenetic relationship of chinese leishmania isolates remain uncertain. a recent internal transcribed spacer 1 and cytochrome oxidase ii phylogeny of chinese leishmania isolates has challenged some asp ... | 2013 | 23383990 |
| wolbachia endobacteria in natural populations of culex pipiens of iran and its phylogenetic congruence. | wolbachia are common intracellular bacteria that infect different groups of arthropods including mosquitoes. these bacteria modify host biology and may induce feminization, parthenogenesis, male killing and cytoplasmic incompatibility (ci). recently wolbachia is being nominated as a bio-agent and paratransgenic candidate to control mosquito borne diseases. | 2016 | 27308293 |
| discovery and study of cutaneous leishmaniasis in karamay of xinjiang, west china. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) was discovered in the farms of the karamay suburb, xinjiang uygur autonomous region in the 1990s. between 1992 and 1994, a house-to-house survey revealed a prevalence of 1.0-1.6% in the residents. the clinical types of skin lesions included papule, plaque, ulcer and nodular prurigo. observations verified that, in some cases, the skin lesions healed spontaneously in 10-14 months, whilst in other cases, they persisted for several years. sporadic cases of cl have contin ... | 2013 | 24010525 |
| detection of wolbachia pipientis, including a new strain containing the wsp gene, in two sister species of paraphlebotomus sandflies, potential vectors of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. | individual, naturally occurring phlebotomus mongolensis and phlebotomus caucasicus from iran were screened for infections with the maternally inherited intracellular rickettsia-like bacterium wolbachia pipientis via targeting a major surface protein gene (wsp). the main objective of this study was to determine if w. pipientis could be detected in these species. the sandflies were screened using polymerase chain reaction to amplify a fragment of the wolbachia surface protein gene. the obtained se ... | 0 | 23828002 |
| molecular identification of phlebotomus caucasicus and phlebotomus mongolensis (diptera: psychodidae) in a hyperendemic area of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in iran. | phlebotomus caucasicus marzinovsky and phlebotomus mongolensis sinton are morphologically similar sand fly species. finding a reliable, fast, and simple method to differentiate these two sand flies is important in understanding their role in the transmission of leishmania parasite. in our study, 20 specimens of male p. caucasicus, 4 specimens of male p. mongolensis, and 16 specimens of female of both species (caucasicus group) were examined by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the result shows id ... | 2017 | 28968720 |
