Phlebotomine (Diptera, Psychodidae) Bloodmeal Sources in Tunisian Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Foci: Could Sergentomyia minuta, which is not an Exclusive Herpetophilic Species, be Implicated in the Transmission of Pathogens?

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

ABSTBACT Knowledge of the host-feeding pattern of blood-sucking insects helps to understand the epidemiology of a vector-born disease. A set of primers was used to selectively amplify segment of vertebrates' prepronociceptin gene from abdomens of engorged sand flies. Vertebrate DNA was successfully amplified in 65% of blood-fed phlebotomines assayed. Direct sequencing and comparison of resultant sequences with seq...
