Nearly 32% of sand fly species recorded in Mexico are related to Leishmania transmission. A correct morphological identification flies is essential improve epidemiological and control strategies. Wing geometric morphometrics (GM) has proven be a complementary tool for classical taxonomy, allowing us explore variations structure shape between species. This study evaluated whether the use wing morphometric traits aids identify vector independently their geographic distribution. The specimens...
The composition and seasonal occurrence of sandflies were investigated in coffee agroecosystems the Soconusco region Chiapas, Mexico. Insect sampling was performed on three plantations located at different altitudes: Finca Guadalupe Zajú [1,000 m above sea level (a.s.l.)], Argovia (613 a.s.l.) Teotihuacán del Valle (429 a.s.l.). Sandflies sampled monthly from August 2007-July 2008 using methods: Shannon traps, CDC miniature light traps Disney traps. Sampling conducted for 3 h during...
The presence of Lutzomyia (Tricholateralis) cruciata (Coquillett 1907) species complex has been suggested by morphological analysis eggs and genetic studies females. present work aimed to compare the diversity in morphology four populations Lu. from Coast Chiapas, Mexico, using traditional (TM) geometric (GM) methods. Several characteristics that were analyzed provided consistency differentiate at least, three cruciata. Both methods effective detect differences associated with geographical...
Monitoring phlebotomine sandflies in urban areas is key for epidemiological studies susceptible populations. This paper describes sandfly fauna that were present an area of the municipality Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, and captured with Shannon CDC light traps. During February March 2014, 1,442 captured, specifically Lutzomyia cruciata (Coquillet) (98.8%), cayennensis (Floch Abonnenc) (0.8%), chiapanensis (Dampf) (0.3%) atulapai (De León) (0.1%). Lu. was most abundant frequently trapped...
Abstract Lutzomyia cruciata Coquillet (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) is a potential vector of Leishmania sp.; its geographical distribution in Mexico widespread, but life history unknown. The present study gives relevant information on the cycle, morphology, survival and reproduction Lu. observed over successive generations under laboratory conditions. Seven were produced. A total 975 adults obtained sexual proportion 1.1 : 1 (female male). Each female produced 20.7 eggs 1.9 adults,...
Se muestran los resultados de la búsqueda Leishmania y Wolbachia mediante PCR, en flebotominos recolectados durante 2011 (febrero-marzo) cafetales cuatro localidades ubicadas dentro un transecto altitudinal región del Soconusco, Chiapas, México. Las especies Lutzomyia texana Lu. carpenteri son documentadas por primera vez para el estado Chiapas. fue detectada una hembra cruciata capturada Finca Guadalupe Sajú. Todas las muestras fueron negativas a Leishmania.
A device that uses fluorescent powder to automatically mark large numbers of honeybees provides a good method distinguish focal colony foragers from other colonies. However, when humidity is high, the readily forms pellets cannot pass through mesh and marking diminished. We present here an apparatus mass-mark with liquid paint. demonstrate this low-cost highly efficient does not produce any observable mortality on test or impairing flight ability.
Lutzomyia cruciata (Coquillet) is a vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Mexico and Central America. However, several aspects its ecology behavior are unknown, including whether male pheromone partially mediates the sexual this sand fly. In study, we evaluated behavioral response females to abdominal extracts Y-tube olfactometer. The volatile compounds from were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry compared with those female extracts. Finally, disseminating structures putative...
Después de medir el tamaño del cuerpo, abdomen y cefalotórax la pupa macho hembra Aedes albopictus, decidimos usar para construir un dispositivo separación individuos por sexo en estado pupal. De manera interesante, muchas pupas no pasaron a través tamiz fueron retenidos sacrificados como hembra; esto puede significar desperdicio recursos que ha sido informadopreviamente. Por tal motivo se hace énfasis eficiencia deretención debe ser confirmada si planea su críamasiva.
The sand fly Lutzomyia cruciata has been associated with the transmission of Leishmania mexicana to humans in Mexico. This species a wide distribution Mexico occupying different microhabitats and environments. In this work comparisons egg exochorion Lu. from physiographic areas are presented. Study sites states southern Exochorion analysis was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show differences exochorionic pattern among samples Veracruz (AVER), Yucatán (HOYU)...
El impacto del cambio climático en los humanos es cada vez mayor, irónicamente debido a factores antropogénicos como la globalización. En el caso de Enfermedades Transmitidas por Vectores las Leishmaniasis, Cambio Climático (CC) puede afectar su epidemiología al cambiar biología y ecología sus vectores, reservorios patógenos. Se realizó una revisión descriptiva literatura, con objetivo proporcionar información disponible sobre efecto CC incidencia distribución estacional espacial patógeno...
Las trampas de luz CDC son una alternativa para el monitoreo flebotomineos importancia médica. Sin embargo, los resultados variables entre especies, afectando la eficiencia trampa estándar. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar color como atrayente capturar a Lutzomyia cruciata (Coquillet) con CDC. La respuesta relativa hembras silvestres Lu. colores evaluada en pruebas laboratorio y LED usado campo. no mostraron diferencias atracción hacia diferentes evaluados control (amarillo),...
The blueberry gall midge, Dasineura oxycoccana (Johnson) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is an important pest of wild and cultivated blueberries, Vaccinium spp. (Ericales: Ericaceae), causes great loss at infested farms. This the first report occurrence a plantation in Mexico. Suspicious larvae adults were collected from flower vegetative buds 12,625 (11.2% total) plants, corymbosum L. Specimens identified based on DNA similarity to known sequences mitochondrial COI gene traditional morphometric...
Effective and less risky tools for monitoring the anthropophilic sandfly Lutzomyia (Tricholateralis) cruciata (Coquillett) (Diptera: Psychodidae) are scarce, even though this species may act as a vector of Leishmania mexicana Biagi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) in Americas. We evaluated effectiveness 1-octen-3-ol, butyric acid, lactic ammonium acetate, cyclopentanone attractants collection L. field conditions. Chemical lures were placed CDC light traps installed within an urban forest....
