Genetic variability among populations of the sand fly Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) Longipalpis (Diptera: psychodidae) from Central America
(Entomological Society of America., 1998-03)
Eleven Central American populations of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) were analyzed for genetic variation at 16 enzyme loci. The aim was to study the genetic structure among populations within this region and to ...
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 ...
Globally invasive, withdrawing at home: Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus facing the rise of Aedes flavopictus
(Springer, 2016)
It has been suggested that climate change may have
facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors,
since several species have expanded their range as tempera tures have warmed. Here, we present results from ...
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 ...
Programa gusano barrenador - vigilancia epidemiológica SENASA
(Servicio Nacional de Salud Animal (SENASA), Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG), Costa Rica, 2010-08-06)
La organización ofrece servicios a la salud pública y animal, enfocados en las enfermedades de vigilancia de interés para Costa Rica y Los Estados Unidos de América, que se consideran de mayor importancia social, económica, ...
Modeling the association between Aedes aegypti ovitrap egg counts, multi-scale remotely sensed environmental data and arboviral cases at Puntarenas, Costa Rica (2017–2018)
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Problems with vector surveillance are a major barrier for the effective control of vector-borne disease transmission through Latin America. Here, we present results from a 80-week longitudinal study where Aedes aegypti
(L.) ...
Mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) diversity from ovitraps in a Mesoamerican Tropical Rainforest
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2018-01-30)
Mosquito sampling using efficient traps that can assess species diversity and/or presence of dominant vectors is
important for understanding the entomological risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission. Here, we ...
Increased adult Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) abundance in a dengue transmission hotspot, compared to a coldspot, within Kaohsiung City, Taiwan
(MDPI, 2018-08-13)
The assumption that vector abundance differences might drive spatial and temporal
heterogeneities in vector-borne disease transmission is common, though data supporting it is
scarce. Here, we present data from two common ...
Winter activity and diapause of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2015-08-18)
We studied the winter activity of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) from November 2008 to April
2009 in Bat Trang village of Hanoi, Vietnam. We selected 12 houses and collected: 1) adults with BG
sentinel traps, 2) pupae from ...
