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 ...
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 ...
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in dogs: Is high seroprevalence indicative of a reservoir role?
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-05-20)
American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a complex disease with a rich diversity of animal host species. This diversity
imposes a challenge, since understanding ACL transmission requires the adequate identification of ...
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 ...
