Abstract Changes in biodiversity may impact infectious disease transmission through multiple mechanisms. We explored the of changes on Amazonian leishmaniases, a group wild zoonoses transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies (Psychodidae), which represent an important health burden region where is both rich and threatened. Using molecular analyses fly pools blood‐fed dipterans, we characterized system forest sites French Guiana undergoing different levels human‐induced disturbance. show that...
A major challenge of eco-epidemiology is to determine which factors promote the transmission infectious diseases and establish risk maps that can be used by public health authorities. The geographic predictions resulting from ecological niche modelling have been widely for future dispersion vectors based on occurrence records potential prevalence disease. establishment disease systems with complex cycles such as cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) very challenging due many inference networks...
Phlebotomine sand flies are insects that highly relevant in medicine, particularly as the sole proven vectors of leishmaniasis. Accurate identification fly species is an essential prerequisite for eco-epidemiological studies aiming to better understand disease. Traditional morphological painstaking and time-consuming, molecular methods extensive screening remain expensive. Recent have shown matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) a...
