| daily and seasonal activities of some sandflies from surrugia village, khartoum, sudan. | the present study is concerned with four species of phlebotomine sandflies prevailing in khartoum area between the years 1984 and 1987. flies studied were phlebotomus papatasi, sergentomyia antennata, s. clydei and s. schewtzi. the indoor and outdoor daily rhythmic and biting activities were determined during the transmission season for both males and females p. papatasi. peaks of daily activities and the time at which man is at greatest risk were determined. for each year the monthly relative p ... | 1991 | 1841209 |
| preliminary account of the phenology of some nigerian savanna phlebotomine sandflies (diptera: psychodidae). | a total of 1,705 sandflies was collected by sticky trap from the guinea savanna of northern nigeria to determine their seasonal and spatial fluctuations in abundance. adult sandflies persisted throughout the year, but the highest diversity and abundance were recorded at the end of the rainy season. females were collected more frequently than were males. the species collected in order of decreasing abundance were sergentomyia antennata newstead, s. bedfordi newstead, s. africana newstead, s. schw ... | 1991 | 1941922 |
| comparative study of sandfly trapping techniques. | three test oils (castor oil, groundnut oil and engine oil) were used in sticky traps with the view of evaluating their relative efficiency in forming adhesive surfaces for collecting phlebotomine sandflies. although engine oil exhibited maximum efficiency, the performance of all the three oil types compared favourably with one another both quantitatively and qualitatively. the engine oil had additional advantages over the other oils in being less expensive and not attractive to vertebrates (rode ... | 1988 | 3175471 |

| haematophageous vector monitoring in djibouti city from 2008 to 2009: first records of culex pipiens ssp. torridus (iglisch), and anopheles sergentii (theobald). | the horn of africa represents a region formerly known to be highly susceptible to mosquito-borne infectious diseases. in order to monitor and analyze the current presence and threat of vector mosquitoes, continuous and standardized trapping using cdc light traps without an additional co2-generator has been carried out at six selected monitoring sites located in djibouti city, from august 2008 until december 2009. an overall of 620 haematophageous diptera were trapped, 603 (97.3%) were mosquitoes ... | 2010 | 21246936 |
| ecology of phlebotomine sand flies in the rural community of mont rolland (thiès region, senegal): area of transmission of canine leishmaniasis. | different epidemiological studies previously indicated that canine leishmaniasis is present in the region of thiès (senegal). however, the risks to human health, the transmission cycle and particularly the implicated vectors are unknown. | 2011 | 21445295 |
| seasonality and prevalence of leishmania major infection in phlebotomus duboscqi neveu-lemaire from two neighboring villages in central mali. | phlebotomus duboscqi is the principle vector of leishmania major, the causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl), in west africa and is the suspected vector in mali. although found throughout the country the seasonality and infection prevalence of p. duboscqi has not been established in mali. we conducted a three year study in two neighboring villages, kemena and sougoula, in central mali, an area with a leishmanin skin test positivity of up to 45%. during the first year, we evaluated the o ... | 2011 | 21572984 |
| limits of a rapid identification of common mediterranean sandflies using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. | a total of 131 phlebotomine algerian sandflies have been processed in the present study. they belong to the species phlebotomus bergeroti, phlebotomus alexandri, phlebotomus sergenti, phlebotomus chabaudi, phlebotomus riouxi, phlebotomus perniciosus, phlebotomus longicuspis, phlebotomus perfiliewi, phlebotomus ariasi, phlebotomus chadlii, sergentomyia fallax, sergentomyia minuta, sergentomyia antennata, sergentomyia schwetzi, sergentomyia clydei, sergentomyia christophersi and grassomyia dreyfus ... | 2014 | 24936911 |
| phlebotomus (legeromyia) multihamatus subg. nov., sp. nov. from gabon (diptera: psychodidae). | during a research project aimed at the study of the culicinae fauna of gabon and carried out in the national park of la lopé, we captured an unknown sandfly male specimen (genus phlebotomus) by cdc miniature light trap belonging to a new species for science. furthermore, the originality of his genitalia does not allow us to include this species in one of the existing subgenus, thus in this paper we propose the creation of a new subgenus, as phlebotomus (legeromyia) multihamatus sp. nov., subg. n ... | 0 | 24141965 |
| ecology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in sinai: linking parasites, vectors and hosts. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is a neglected clinical form of public health importance that is quite prevalent in the northern and eastern parts of egypt. a comprehensive study over seven years (january 2005-december 2011) was conducted to track cl transmission with respect to both sandfly vectors and animal reservoirs. the study identified six sandfly species collected from different districts in north sinai: phlebotomus papatasi, phlebotomus kazeruni, phlebotomus sergenti, phlebotomus alexandri ... | 2014 | 24821060 |

| molecular detection and identification of leishmania infection in naturally infected sand flies in a focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in northern morocco. | cutaneous leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by various species of the flagellate protozoan leishmania. during the past 20 years, cutaneous leishmaniasis has emerged as a major public health threat in morocco. the main objective of this study was to study the occurrence of leishmania infection in vectors and to identify sand fly blood meal sources in an endemic locality of cutaneous leishmaniasis within sefrou province, where the vectors of leishmaniasis were still unknown. | 2014 | 24990497 |
| diversity of sand flies (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) in two different eco-climatic and endemic zones of cutaneous leishmaniasis in mali, west africa. | being the only established vectors of the protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania, sand flies have become very important in all countries where leishmaniasis exists. to better understand the sand fly fauna, a taxonomic inventory study was carried out between january and march 2012 in soudan savannah (boundioba, sikasso) and sahelian (tieneguebougou, koulikoro) areas of mali. cdc light traps were used to collect the sand flies. collected sand flies specimens were cleaned with lacto-phenol and ... | 2016 | 27247347 |
