| phylogeography of the subgenus transphlebotomus artemiev with description of two new species, phlebotomus anatolicus n. sp. and phlebotomus killicki n. sp. | the subgenus transphlebotomus comprises sand fly species with distribution markedly restricted to the mediterranean basin and suspected of leishmania transmission. only three species, phlebotomus mascittii, phlebotomus canaaniticus and phlebotomus economidesi, have been described up to the present. due to their similar morphology, proper identification remains difficult and relies mainly on molecular markers. we studied sand fly species of this subgenus from crete and south-western coast of anat ... | 2015 | 26006062 |
| diversity, ecology, and seasonality of sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) of the jenin district (palestinian territories). | the diversity, ecology, and seasonality for sand flies from two localities in jenin district, the palestinian territories, were studied. a total of 12,579 sand flies (5,420 phlebotomus and 7,159 sergentomyia) were collected during the study period. the genera phlebotomus and sergentomyia are represented by 13 and nine species and subspecies, respectively. species account was given for all collected species. cdc light traps yielded 7,649 (60.8%) of the total captured sand flies, while sticky trap ... | 2017 | 28504444 |
