Lutzomyia longipalpis urbanisation and control
Since the description of Lutzomyia longipalpis by Lutz and Neiva more than 100 years ago, much has been written in the scientific literature about this phlebotomine species. 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 کاملEcology of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lutzomyia migonei in an endemic area for visceral leishmaniasis Ecologia de Lutzomyia longipalpis e Lutzomyia migonei em uma área endêmica para Leishmaniose Visceral
The main vector for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is Lutzomyia longipalpis. However, the absence of L. longipalpis in a region of autochthonous VL demonstrates the participation of other species in the transmission of the parasite. Studies conducted in La Banda, Argentina, and São Vicente Férrer, Pernambuco State, Brazil, have correlated the absence of L. longipalpis and the presence of...
متن کاملLutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae): a review.
Lutzomyia longipalpis is the most important vector of AmericanVisceral Leishmaniasis (AVL) due to Leishmania chagasi in the New World. Despite its importance, AVL, a disease primarily of rural areas, has increased its prevalence and became urbanized in some large cities in Brazil and other countries in Latin America. Although the disease is treatable, other control measures include elimination ...
متن کاملMechanisms of pH control in the midgut of Lutzomyia longipalpis: roles for ingested molecules and hormones.
Control of the midgut pH in Lutzomyia longipalpis enables the insect's digestive system to deal with different types of diet. Phlebotomines must be able to suddenly change from a condition adequate to process a sugar diet to one required to digest blood. Prior to blood ingestion, the pH in the midgut is maintained at ∼6 via an efficient mechanism. In the abdominal midgut, alkalization to a pH o...
متن کاملThe 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...
