Salivary gland hyaluronidase in various species of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: psychodidae).
Hyaluronidase activity was detected and partially characterized in salivary gland extracts of females of six sand fly species. In Phlebotomus papatasi and Lutzomyia longipalpis the enzyme was active over a broad pH range; the pH optimum was 5.0. Besides high cleaving activity towards hyaluronic acid, it hydrolyzed chondroitin sulfates A and C. Hyaluronidases of various sand fly species differed...
متن کاملNeem oil as a sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) repellent.
The repellent action of neem oil was evaluated against sand flies under laboratory and field conditions. Concentrations of 2% neem oil mixed in coconut or mustard oil provided 100% protection against Phlebotomus argentipes throughout the night under field conditions; against Phlebotomus papatasi it repelled sand flies for about 7 h in the laboratory. Neem oil is an indigenous product and a low-...
