| [experimental assessment of the ability of different species of sandfly to transmit the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis]. | the authors succeeded in transmission of the visceral leishmaniasis agent (kazakh strain of leishmania infantum) through the sand flies phlebotomus longiductus, p. smirnovi and p. papatasi under experimental conditions. infected p. longiductus and p. smirnovi are capable of preserving the agent and infecting the susceptible mammals after the cessation of the 1st and 2nd gonotrophic cycles. p. papatasi transmitted the agent of visceral leishmaniasis only after the cessation of the 2nd gonotrophic ... | 1986 | 3737235 |

| localized cutaneous leishmaniasis due to leishmania donovani and leishmania tropica: preliminary findings of the study of 161 new cases from a new endemic focus in himachal pradesh, india. | localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (lcl) in india is due mostly to leishmania tropica. it is mainly endemic in the deserts of rajasthan. recently, himachal pradesh has been identified as a new endemic focus for the disease. in the last few years, the number of new cases has been increasing almost to epidemic proportions. this report presents the preliminary findings of clinico-epidemiologic and investigative results of 161 new localized cases of lcl seen between may 2001 and december 2003. the st ... | 2005 | 15964970 |
| epidemiology of a new focus of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis in himachal pradesh. | a new focus of localised cutaneous leishmaniasis has emerged along the satluj river valley in the mountainous region of north west himachal pradesh. the main endemic region extends from pooh subdivision of kinnaur district to kumarsain subdivision of shimla district with adjoining nirmand subdivision of kullu district comprising 86 villages. the climate of the affected areas varies from temperate to subtropical. a total of 285 cases were recorded from 1988 to january, 2005. the age of these pati ... | 2005 | 17278657 |

| 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 |
| endemic transmission of visceral leishmaniasis in bhutan. | visceral leishmaniasis was first reported in bhutan in 2006. we conducted studies of the parasite, possible vectors and reservoirs, and leishmanin skin test and risk factor surveys in three villages. nineteen cases were reported from seven districts. parasite typing yielded two novel microsatellite sequences, both related to indian l. donovani. in one case village, 40 (18.5%) of 216 participants had positive leishmanin skin test results, compared with 3 (4.2%) of 72 in the other case village and ... | 2012 | 23091191 |
| 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 |
| visceral leishmaniasis in china: an endemic disease under control. | visceral leishmaniasis (vl) caused by leishmania spp. is an important vector-borne and largely zoonotic disease. in china, three epidemiological types of vl have been described: anthroponotic vl (avl), mountain-type zoonotic vl (mt-zvl), and desert-type zvl (dt-zvl). these are transmitted by four different sand fly species: phlebotomus chinensis, p. longiductus, p. wui, and p. alexandri. in 1951, a detailed survey of vl showed that it was rampant in the vast rural areas west, northwest, and nort ... | 0 | 26354822 |
| survey of wild and domestic mammals for infection with leishmania infantum following an outbreak of desert zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in jiashi, people's republic of china. | in 2008 and 2009, an outbreak of desert-subtype zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis occurred in jiashi county, xinjiang, china. so far, no animal reservoir has been identified for this type of visceral leishmaniasis. therefore, we surveyed the most common mammals (wild and domestic) for leishmania infections during the outbreak in 2008 and 2009 in order to identify the source of the visceral leishmaniasis in this region. spleen, liver, bone marrow and blood samples collected from 86 wood mice (apode ... | 2015 | 26177101 |

| endemic characteristics of infantile visceral leishmaniasis in the people's republic of china. | visceral leishmaniasis (vl) was once a severe parasitic disease in china. thanks to the great efforts of integrated control, vl was eliminated in most epidemic areas, except for certain western provinces (autonomous region) at the end of 1950s. from then on, vl gained less attention and has seemed to spread, especially in the last 15 years. infants are the most important population threatened by vl. however, there have been few studies on the endemic characteristics of infantile vl in china. | 2013 | 23680411 |
| spatial analysis of visceral leishmaniasis in the oases of the plains of kashi prefecture, xinjiang uygur autonomous region, china. | kashi prefecture of xinjiang is one of the most seriously affected areas with anthroponotic visceral leishmaniasis in china. a better understanding of space distribution features in this area was needed to guide strategies to eliminate visceral leishmaniasis from highly endemic areas. we performed a spatial analysis using the data collected in bosh klum township in xinjiang china. | 2016 | 26979847 |
