Journal ArticleDOI
Naturally Occurring Culturable Aerobic Gut Flora of Adult Phlebotomus papatasi, Vector of Leishmania major in the Old World
TL;DR: The results indicate that there is a wide range of variation of aerobic gut flora inhabiting sand fly guts, which possibly reflect the ecological condition of the habitat where the fly breeds, and support a link between oviposition induction and adult gut flora.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of genetic variability in colonized strains of Lutzomyia longipalpis (diptera : Psychodidae) and its consequences
TL;DR: The genetic profiles of five laboratory colonies of geographic strains of the New World sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis were compared with field specimens, and a general pattern of a loss of infrequent alleles and decreased heterozygosity emerged as an apparent consequence of colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecific hybridization and genetic variability of Phlebotomus sandflies
TL;DR: The first successful hybridization is reported between Phlebotomus papatasi and P. duboscqi, two important Old World sandfly vectors of leishmaniasis and other diseases, and the recovery of heterozygous isozyme patterns for the diagnostic loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variability in biochemical characters of Brazilian field populations of the Leishmania vector, Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera : Psychodidae)
TL;DR: The low genetic distances, absence of diagnostic loci, and the distribution of genes in geographic space indicate L. longipalpis of Brazil to be a single, but genetically heterogeneous, polymorphic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of cutaneous Leishmaniasis vectors, Phlebotomus papatasi and P-duboscqi using random amplified polymorphic DNA
TL;DR: The suitability of this primer for Phlebotomus species identification will help to find the true vector-parasite relationship in the epidemiology of leishmaniasis, particularly in the African countries where both species are prevalent.
