Cutaneous Leishmaniasis and sand fly fluctuations are associated with El Niño in Panamá
(PLOS ONE, 2014-10)
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical vector-borne disease. Sand fly vectors (SF) and Leishmania spp parasites are sensitive to changes in weather conditions, rendering disease transmission susceptible to ...
Leishmaniasis sand fly vector density reduction is less marked in destitute housing after insecticide thermal fogging
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Insecticide thermal fogging (ITF) is a tool to control vector borne diseases. Insecticide application
success for vector control has been associated with housing materials and architecture. Vector abundance ...
Macroecological patterns of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis transmission across the health areas of Panamá (1980–2012)
(Elsevier B.V, 2016-03-18)
American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) is a neglected vector-borne zoonosis that persists despite increasing socio-economic development and urbanization in Panamá. Here, we investigate the association between environmental ...
Nestedness patterns of sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) species in a neotropical semi-arid environment
(Elsevier, 2016)
A common pattern in neotropical Leishmania spp. transmission is the co-occurrence of several sand fly
(SF) species at endemic foci. We collected 13 SF spp. by direct aspiration in natural resting places (NRP)
and 10 SF ...
