The Ecology of the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis in Amazonian Brazil
In pursuit of effective control strategies against Leishmania chagasi and American Visceral Leishmaniasis, we investigated the ecology of Lutzomyia longipalpis in a series of laboratory and field experiments in Amazonian Brazil. In Chapter II, we show that bloodfeeding success in peridomestic animal pens was dependent on the density of females feeding at the host. As the density of biting flies...

Soares and Turco (2003) and Lainson and Rangel (2005) have written extensive reviews focused on vector-host-parasite interactions and American visceral leishmaniasis ecology. However, during the last two decades, the succes...
متن کاملAspects related to productivity for four generations of a Lutzomyia longipalpis laboratory colony.
A closed colony of Lutzomyia longipalpis was established with specimens collected in the Raposa - Serra do Sol indian reservoir, one of the main foci of visceral leishmaniasis in the State of Roraima, Brazil. Biological observations were made on four generations of a L. longipalpis colony with emphasis on productivity. Aspects studied were the number of laid and retained eggs, and the number of...
