Leishmania spp. infection rate and feeding patterns of sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from a hyperendemic cutaneous leishmaniasis community in Panamá
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019)
Abstract. American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a common and important vector-borne parasitic zoonosis in Panam ´a. Here, we study Leishmania spp. infection rates and blood-feeding patterns among common sand flies in ...
Host life history strategy, species diversity, and habitat influence Trypanosoma cruzi vector infection in changing landscapes
(PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012-11-15)
Background: Anthropogenic land use may influence transmission of multi-host vector-borne pathogens by changing
diversity, relative abundance, and community composition of reservoir hosts. These reservoir hosts may have ...
Survey of wild mammal hosts of cutaneous Leishmaniasis parasites in Panamá and Costa Rica
(The Japanese Society of Tropical Medicine, 2014-12-06)
The eco-epidemiology of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is driven by animal reservoir
species that are a source of infection for sand flies that serve as vectors infecting humans with Leishmania spp
parasites. The ...
