phlebotomine fauna, natural infection rate and feeding habits of lutzomyia cruzi in jaciara, state of mato grosso, brazil.visceral leishmaniasis (vl) in brazil is transmitted by the phlebotomine lutzomyia longipalpis and in some midwestern regions by lutzomyia cruzi. studies of the phlebotomine fauna, feeding habits and natural infection rate by leishmania contribute to increased understanding of the epidemiological chain of leishmaniases and their vectorial capacity. collections were performed in jaciara, state of mato grosso from 2010-2013, during which time 2,011 phlebotomines (23 species) were captured (68.70% ...201425410993
effect of environmental disturbance on the population of sandflies and leishmania transmission in an endemic area of venezuela.the exploitation of new wilderness areas with crops is increasing and traditional crop substitution has been modified by new more productive crops. the results show the anthropogenic disturbance effect on the sandflies population and leishmania transmission in endemic areas of venezuela. three agroecosystems with variable degrees of ecological disturbance, forest (conserved), cacao (fragmented), and orangery (disturbed), were selected. four methods to sandfly capture were used; the specimens wer ...201424949018
diversity and distribution of sandflies (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) in a military area in the state of amazonas, brazil.this study reports the distribution, ecotopes and fauna diversity of sandflies captured in five training bases on a military reserve in manaus, state of amazonas (am). a total of 10,762 specimens were collected, which were distributed among 58 species, with the highest number recorded at base instruction 1 (bi1). a higher rate of species richness was found at the base instruction boina rajada and low levels of diversity associated with a high abundance index with the clear dominance of lutzomyia ...023903983
dna barcoding for the identification of sand fly species (diptera, psychodidae, phlebotominae) in colombia.sand flies include a group of insects that are of medical importance and that vary in geographic distribution, ecology, and pathogen transmission. approximately 163 species of sand flies have been reported in colombia. surveillance of the presence of sand fly species and the actualization of species distribution are important for predicting risks for and monitoring the expansion of diseases which sand flies can transmit. currently, the identification of phlebotomine sand flies is based on morpho ...201424454877
phlebotomine sandfly species in paraguay and their infection with leishmania.nine species of sandflies, lutzomyia (nyssomyia) whitmani (antunes and countinho), lutzomyia (nyssomyia) intermedia (lutz and neiva), lutzomyia (psathyromyia) shannoni (dyar), lutzomyia migonei (franca), lutzomyia (pintomyia) fischeri (pinto), lutzomyia (pintomyia) pessoai (countinho and barretto), lutzomyia cortelezzii (brethes), lutzomyia walkeri (newstead) and lutzomyia (trichopygomyia) longispinus (mangabeira), were caught, by human bait and shannon trap, in four areas of paraguay hyper-ende ...19921417209
seasonal variation and natural infection of lutzomyia antunesi (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae), an endemic species in the orinoquia region of colombia.lutzomyia antunesi has been commonly reported in outbreaks of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in the orinoquia region of colombia. the bionomics of this species were studied in the municipality of villavicencio (meta, colombia). sandflies were captured over the course of one week per month for one year in intradomiciliary, peridomiciliary and extradomiciliary housing areas. the captures were performed from 06:00 pm-06:00 am using cdc light traps and the females were processed for polymerase chain r ...023828011
anthropophily of lutzomyia wellcomei (diptera: psychodidae) in an atlantic forest conservation unit in northeast brazil.lutzomyia wellcomei (fraiha, shaw & lainson) (diptera: psychodidae) can act as an important vector of leishmania (viannia) braziliensis this study presents the results of collections carried out in a fragment of atlantic forest in a conservation unit of rio grande do norte state. collections occurred over 12 consecutive months using shannon and cdc traps. a total of 777 sand flies from eight species were collected: lutzomyia walkeri (newstead), lutzomyia evandroi (costa lima & antunes), lutzomyi ...201627330100
sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) in an urban area of northeastern brazil.the sandfly fauna is well studied globally. in brazil, sandfly fauna is very diverse in the northeast region, especially in states such as maranhão, ceará, and bahia. however, in the state of pernambuco, the distribution of these insects is still not well known. therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the different species that constitute the sandfly fauna in an urban area in the northeast region of brazil, where an outbreak of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) was recently reported.201728001216
[phlebotomine sandflies in fragments of rain forest in recife, pernambuco state].an investigation was conducted into the distribution of sandfly fauna in 4 fragments of atlantic forest in the metropolitan area of recife. it consisted of the capture adult insects using cdc light traps. a total of 1,173 specimens were distributed in 11 species of lutzomyia: lutzomyia evandroi, lutzomyia choti, lutzomyia walkeri, lutzomyia umbratilis, lutzomyia brasiliensis, lutzomyia sordellii, lutzomyia claustrei, lutzomyia wellcomei, lutzomyia fluviatilis, lutzomyia furcata e lutzomyia araga ...200515895182
