Intraspeci!c variability of natural populations of Phlebotomus sergenti, the main vector of Leishmania tropica
An intraspeci!c study of Phlebotomus sergenti was performed on populations from Turkey, Syria, Israel, and Uzbekistan by four di"erent approaches: geometric morphometrics, RAPD analysis, internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequencing (nuclear marker), and cytochrome B sequencing (mitochondrial marker). In RAPD analysis, distinct clades were formed in accordance with the geographical origin of ...
متن کاملExperimental transmission of Leishmania tropica to hamsters and mice by the bite of Phlebotomus sergenti.
Phlebotomus sergenti is a natural vector of Leishmania tropica. However, the ability of P. sergenti to transmit L. tropica by bite has not been proven experimentally yet. We have transmitted L. tropica to golden hamsters and BALB/c mice by the bite of P. sergenti. Sand flies and Leishmania both originated from an anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in Urfa, Turkey. P. sergenti females f...

متن کاملPhlebotomus sergenti a common vector of Leishmania tropica and Toscana virus in Morocco.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES An entomological study using CDC miniature light-traps was performed in El Hanchane locality, where cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) was emerging during the summer of 2011. The aim of this study is to identify the vectors of Leishmania and of phleboviruses. METHODS In the field, a total of 643 sandfly specimens were collected, identified by morphological keys and categoriz...
متن کاملNew record of Phlebotomus sergenti, the vector of Leishmania tropica, in the southern Nile valley of Egypt.
We report the 1st collection of Phlebotomus sergenti, a vector of the cutaneous and visceralizing forms of Leishmania tropica, from southern Egypt. Four female and 1 male P. sergenti were collected from unlit Centers for Disease Control light traps placed in a village on the Nile River, 6 km north of Aswan, Egypt, during studies conducted from 1998 to 1999. This extends the known distribution o...
