Comparative attractiveness of CO(2)-baited CDC light traps and animal baits to Phlebotomus duboscqi sandflies.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In order to understand sandfly bionomics, vector species identification, and to develop methods for sandfly control, there is a need to sample sandflies in any particular habitat. This survey was aimed at determining the best method of sampling Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus) duboscqi (Diptera: Psychodidae) in the field. METHODS Different animal baits and CO2-baited CDC ligh...
متن کاملPhlebotomines (Diptera, Psychodidae) from Burkina Faso. A note on the sandfly species collected in domestic resting sites.
A total of 1,394 sandflies were collected in the domestic resting sites of Ouagadougou areas and in two villages of the East region of Burkina Faso using pyrethrum spray catch, oiled papers and miniature CDC light traps during the rainy season in 1984 and 1985. Thirteen species were identified, one belonging to the genus Phlebotomus and the others to the genus Sergentomyia. S. antennata (34.94%...
متن کاملLife table characteristics of the female sandfly, Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) (Diptera: Psychodidae) under three food regimes.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In Egypt, Phlebotomus papatasi is the main vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis. In nature, P. papatasi feeds on blood from different hosts and sucrose (other sugars) mainly from fig fruits. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of three food regimes on the life table parameters of females mainly the life expectancy as a factor determining the fly's capability fo...
متن کاملLaboratory Evaluation of Selected Medicinal Plant Extracts in Sugar Baits and Larval Food Against Phlebotomus Duboscqi Neveu Lemaire (diptera: Psychodidae), A Vector for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Kenya
Introduction; The efficacy of Tagetes minuta (Asteraceae), Acalypha fruticosa (Euphorbiaciae) and Tarchonanthus camphoratus (Compositae) extracts were evaluated for the control of Phlebotomus duboscqi while incorporated in sucrose. This is the first time plant extracts have been used in sucrose baits against sand flies as opposed to environmentally unfriendly synthetic insecticides. Materials a...
متن کاملConsiderations on the effect of anti-sandfly antibodies on biological parameters of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae).
The immunization of vertebrate hosts with vector components may be an alternative for the control of diseases transmitted by insects. In the present study we evaluated the effects of anti-sandfly antibodies on some of the biological parameters of female Lutzomyia longipalpis, a vector of visceral leishmaniasis. Rabbits were immunized with extracts of gut from blood-fed (GB) or sugar-fed (GS) fe...
