Journal ArticleDOI
Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of the Atlantic forest in Recife, Pernambuco state, Brazil: the species coming to human bait, and their seasonal and monthly variations over a 2-year period.
Valdir de Queiroz Balbino,Iliano V. Coutinho-Abreu,I. V. Sonoda,W. Marques da Silva,Carlos Brisola Marcondes +4 more
TL;DR: The relative rarity in the collections of males of some of the species caught probably indicates that these species do not lek on their bloodmeal sources, and is likely that the sizes of the local populations of species that are not very anthrophilic, are much larger than indicated by the collections made on human bait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Insect Salivary Proteins in Blood Feeding, Host Immunity, Disease, and in the Development of Biomarkers for Vector Exposure
TL;DR: A practical application resulting from insect saliva research is the use of insect antigenic salivary protein as biomarkers of vector exposure in humans and animal reservoirs, an approach that is yielding interesting results in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human attractive cues and mosquito host-seeking behavior
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use olfactory receptors in their antennal Olfactory receptor neurons to detect these compounds and further integrate with the senses of temperature and humidity, as well as vision, processed in the brain into a behavioral output, leading to host finding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct gene expression patterns in vector-residing Leishmania infantum identify parasite stage-enriched markers.
Iliano V. Coutinho-Abreu,Tiago D. Serafim,Claudio Meneses,Shaden Kamhawi,Fabiano Oliveira,Jesus G. Valenzuela +5 more
TL;DR: Using the transcriptional signatures exhibited by distinct Leishmania stages during their development in the sand fly midgut, the genes predominantly enriched in each stage are determined, identifying multiple potential stage-specific markers for L. infantum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phlebotomus papatasi SP15: mRNA expression variability and amino acid sequence polymorphisms of field populations

TL;DR: In spite of the variability detected for P. papatasi populations, common epitopes for MHC class II binding are still present and may be used to boost the response against Le.
