TL;DR: Despite annual variations, multiple collections performed over consecutive years provided homogeneous patterns of the potential behavior of leishmaniasis vectors in selected sites, which it is proposed may represent sentinel areas for future monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of indigenous phlebotomine sandflies and mammals in the spreading of leishmaniasis agents in the Mediterranean region.
TL;DR: An updated view of the establishment and spread of the leishmaniases in Europe is presented, mostly with respect to newly emerging and re-emerging foci and the incrimination of neglected as well as new reservoir hosts, and a concept of specific versus permissive vectors is reassesses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania donovani leishmaniasis in Cyprus
Maria Antoniou,Christos Haralambous,Apostolos Mazeris,Francine Pratlong,Jean-Pierre Dedet,Ketty Soteriadou +5 more
TL;DR: The emergence of Leishmania donovani in Cyprus is discussed and some additional data regarding possible vector species that might have caused the disease outbreak on this island is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: Species identification of sand flies by MALDI-TOF MS is feasible and represents a novel promising tool to improve biological and epidemiological studies on these medically important insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania Genome Dynamics during Environmental Adaptation Reveal Strain-Specific Differences in Gene Copy Number Variation, Karyotype Instability, and Telomeric Amplification.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted longitudinal genome analyses of 10 new Leishmania clinical isolates and revealed gain and loss of gene copies as potential drivers of long-term environmental adaptation in the field.
