| characterization of kenyan leishmania spp. and identification of mastomys natalensis, taterillus emini and aethomys kaiseri as new hosts of leishmania major. | a survey to examine rodents for leishmanias was initiated in the perkerra settlement scheme, marigat, baringo district, kenya, 789 rodents of ten different species were trapped and examined. leishmanial parasites were isolated from the spleen and liver of 17 animals of five different species: seven from tatera robusta, five from arvicanthis niloticus, two from mastomys natalensis, two from taterillus emini and one from aethomys kaiseri. these were identified as l. major by enzyme electrophoresis ... | 1986 | 3632097 |
| animal reservoirs of leishmaniasis in marigat, baringo district, kenya. | a total of 1128 rodents belonging to seven genera were examined for leishmanial parasites over a period of sixteen months. parasites were isolated from 36 (12.5%) tatera robusta, 3 (0.5%) arvicanthis niloticus, and 2 (0.8%) mastomys natalensis. all isolates were characterised by isoenzyme analysis using nine enzymes. the enzymes examined were: malate dehydrogenase (mdh), phosphoglucomutase (pgm), glucose phosphate isomerase (gpi), isocitrate dehydrogenase (icd), nucleoside hydrolase (nh), glucos ... | 1996 | 8625862 |
| comparative attractiveness of co(2)-baited cdc light traps and animal baits to phlebotomus duboscqi sandflies. | in order to understand sandfly bionomics, vector species identification, and to develop methods for sandfly control, there is a need to sample sandflies in any particular habitat. this survey was aimed at determining the best method of sampling phlebotomus (phlebotomus) duboscqi (diptera: psychodidae) in the field. | 2009 | 19724082 |
| host choice of phlebotomus orientalis (diptera: psychodidae) in animal baited experiments: a field study in tahtay adiyabo district, northern ethiopia. | host choice and feeding success of sand fly vectors of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) are important factors in understanding the epidemiology and for developing efficient control strategies. the aim of the present study was to determine the host preference of phlebotomus orientalis in the vl focus of tahtay adiyabo district, northern ethiopia. | 2015 | 25885333 |
