Background The recent geographical expansion of phlebotomine vectors Leishmania infantum in the Mediterranean subregion has been attributed to ongoing climate changes. At these latitudes, activity sand flies is typically seasonal; because seasonal phenomena are also sensitive general variations climate, current phenological data sets can provide a baseline for continuing investigations on fly population dynamics that may impact future scenarios leishmaniasis transmission. With this aim,...
Canine leishmaniasis (CanL) is an important veterinary and public health problem in Mediterranean countries. Although CanL vector sandflies are widespread the study area, there no standardized diagnostic treatment methods followed by private clinics. This aimed to survey (i) treatment, diagnosis, control measures preferred veterinarians, (ii) compare differences first-step tests applied, (iii) identify guidance for CanL. was conducted between August 2017 2019, accessible weblink distributed...
Abstract Background Due to the increasing prevalence of carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA), effective agents are needed treat these serious infections. Although CRPA may test susceptible other β-lactams such as ceftazidime (CAZ), cefepime (FEP), and piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP), reduced potency has been observed amongst CRPA. In this study, we used PKPD analysis assess adequacy EUCAST Susceptible (S) or Increased Exposure (SIE)/(I) doses for CAZ, FEP, TZP against clinical...
Abstract Objective To report isolation of Leishmania major strains obtained from 18 Turkish autochthonous cutaneous leishmaniasis ( CL ) patients infected with L. between 2011 and 2014. Methods Initial diagnosis relied on microscopy culture in enriched medium, prepared by adding specific amounts liver extract, protein lipid sources to NNN medium. Promastigotes were then transferred RPMI medium including 10% foetal calf serum for mass culture. Species‐specific real‐time PCR targeting ITS 1...
The occurrence of phlebotomine sand flies in Central Europe was questioned until they were recorded for the first time Germany 1999, and ten years later also Austria. aim this study to investigate collected Austria their carrier status Leishmania spp. From 2012 2013 field studies conducted eastern Altogether, 22 individuals found, all morphologically identified as Phlebotomus (Transphlebotomus) mascittii Grassi, 1908. Twelve non-engorged female specimens with no visible remnants a blood meal...
Currently, knowledge regarding the phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) fauna of Turkey is restricted to regions with endemic leishmaniasis. However, rapidly changing environmental and social conditions highlight concerns on possible future expansion fly-borne diseases in Turkey, promoting risk assessment through biosurveillance activities non-endemic regions. Traditional morphological approaches are complicated by extensive cryptic speciation flies, thus integrated studies utilizing...
Leishmania RNA virus (LRV) is a double-stranded (dsRNA) infecting some strains and triggering destructive hyperinflammatory response in mammalian hosts the New World. There limited knowledge of presence this Old World species its role outcome disease. We aimed to investigate LRV species/strains from Turkey. Twenty-nine previously identified isolates (24 L. tropica, 2 infantum, 3 major) were examined for positivity using dsRNA visualization agarose gel after total nucleic acid extraction...
Objective: The well-known and common infestation caused by Pediculus humanus capitis is an important public health a social issue in many communities the world.The aim of this study was to compare head louse rate two schools having pupils from different socio-economic levels city center Izmir.Methods: aged between 6 11 years, were screened for presence eggs nymph/adult lice using fine-tooth comb.Results: A total 88 126 with low medium level 24 (27.2%) 5 (3.96%) them found be positive lice,...
Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are biological vectors for Leishmania species, which health problems humans and animals, bacteria such as Bartonella baciliformis, various viruses belonging to the arboviruses Phlebovirus, families Flaviviridae Reoviridae. They also known be in contact with entomoparasites, nematodes, mites fungi. For a faunistic study, sand were collected by CDC light traps set up localities within scope of two separate field studies carried out Muğla Adana provinces,...
Tsetse flies are vectors of parasitic African trypanosomes, the etiological agents human and animal trypanosomoses. Current disease control methods include fly-repelling pesticides, fly trapping, chemotherapeutic treatment infected people animals. Inhibiting tsetse’s ability to transmit trypanosomes by strengthening fly’s natural barriers can serve as an alternative approach reduce disease. The peritrophic matrix (PM) is a chitinous proteinaceous barrier that lines insect midgut serves...
