| phlebotomus (adlerius) halepensis vector competence for leishmania major and le. tropica. | in eurasia, phlebotomine sandflies of the subgenus adlerius (diptera: psychodidae) comprise about 20 known species. some are suspected vectors of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) and at least one species has been implicated as a vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl). we tested phlebotomus (adlerius) halepensis theodor (jordan strain) for cl vector competence, compared with three standard vectors: phlebotomus (phlebotomus) duboscqi n-l. from senegal, phlebotomus (paraphlebotomus) sergenti parrot from ... | 2003 | 12941007 |
| phlebotomus perfiliewi transcaucasicus, a vector of leishmania infantum in northwestern iran. | visceral leishmaniasis is caused by leishmania infantum, which is transmitted to humans by bites of phlebotomine sand flies and is one of the most important public health problems in iran. to identify the vector(s), an investigation was carried out in germi district, an important focus of the disease in ardebil province in northwestern iran, during july-september 2004 and 2005. using sticky papers, cdc light traps and aspirators, 3,560 sand flies were collected and identified to species. host bl ... | 2009 | 19769040 |
| 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 |
| sand flies of the subgenus adlerius (diptera: psychodidae) in an endemic focus of visceral leishmaniasis and introduction of phlebotomus (adlerius) comatus as a new record for iran. | sand flies of subgenus adlerius has a wide geographical distribution in iran and are mostly found in wild form in mountainous areas. they are always considered as probable vectors of visceral leishmaniasis. the objective of this study was to determine the adlerius species and its composition in an endemic focus of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in northwest of the country. | 2013 | 23785689 |
| molecular evidence indicates that phlebotomus major sensu lato (diptera: psychodidae) is the vector species of the recently-identified sandfly fever sicilian virus variant: sandfly fever turkey virus. | sandfly fever turkey virus (sftv) is a recently-discovered sandfly fever sicilian virus (sfsv) variant (family bunyaviridae, genus phlebovirus), characterized during retrospective evaluation of febrile disease outbreaks in turkey. in addition to causing sandfly fever, sftv was observed to induce elevation of liver enzymes, and to cause thrombocytopenia in affected individuals. this study was conducted to identify vectors for phleboviruses including sftv in ankara province, turkey, where evidence ... | 2012 | 22651385 |
| phlebotomus halepensis (diptera: psychodidae) vectorial capacity in afyon and nigde province, turkey. | leishmaniasis is a one of the vector-borne diseases and has two clinical forms in turkey: cutaneous and visceral. the aim of this study was to determine the sand fly fauna in afyon and nigde provinces where endemic foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in turkey. in afyon, 2,259 sand flies were collected in 73 locations in august 2009 and august 2010, using cdc light traps. in total, eight phlebotomus species were identified; phlebotomus halepensis (47.41%), phlebotomus papatasi (31.42%), phlebot ... | 2017 | 29202202 |
