Trypanosomes belonging to Trypanosoma theileri group are mammalian blood parasites with keds and horse fly vectors. Our aim is study vector specificity of T. trypanosomes. During our bloodsucking Diptera survey, we found a surprisingly high prevalence trypanosomes in mosquitoes (154/4051). Using PCR gut dissections, detected mainly Aedes mosquitoes, the highest Ae. excrucians (22%), punctor (21%), cantans/annulipes (10%). Moreover, were blackflies, which reported as potential vectors for...
Avian trypanosomes are cosmopolitan and common protozoan parasites of birds; nevertheless, knowledge their life cycles vectors remains incomplete. Mosquitoes have been confirmed as Trypanosoma culicavium suggested T. thomasbancrofti; however, transmission has experimentally only for the former species. This study aims to confirm experimental thomasbancrofti birds its localization in vectors. Culex pipiens were fed on blood using four strains thomasbancrofti, isolated from avian hosts; all...
