| electrophoretic and morphological differentiation between two sympatric species of adlerius: phlebotomus brevis and phlebotomus simici (diptera: psychodidae). | phlebotomus simici theodor and p. brevis artemiev & dergacheva are closely related species in the subgenus adlerius that only may be identified by the male terminalia. females only may be differentiated by collecting them in copula. because females of p. simici may be involved in leishmania transmission, their identity should be verified. our study separated individual from 2 sympatric populations in lebanon by means of agarose enzyme electrophoresis. differential patterns were found at the pgm ... | 2000 | 10730503 |
| 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 |
