Mansonella ozzardi in the municipality of Tefé, Amazonas, Brazil, 60 years afte...
Medeiros, Jansen Fernandes de; Rodrigues, Moreno S.; Katsuragawa, Tony Hiroshi; Costa, Cristóvão Alves; Pessoa, Felipe Arley CostaThe prevalence of mansonelliasis was studied in the municipality of Tefé, state of Amazonas, Brazil. The prevalence (thick blood smear method) was 13.6% (147/1,078), higher in the Solimões River region (16.3%) than in the Tefé River region (6.3%). In the sampled communities in the Solimões River region, a higher density of cases was observed, as indicated by a kernel analysis (odds ratio 0.34; 95% confidence in...
Ecological aspects and molecular detection of Leishmania DNA Ross (Kinetoplasti...
Pereira Júnior, Antonio Marques; Teles, Carolina Bioni Garcia; Azevedo dos Santos, Ana Paula Silva de; Rodrigues, Moreno S.; Marialva, Eric FabrícioBackground: Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are insects of medical importance due to the role that some species play in the transmission of leishmaniasis. This work aimed to study some ecological aspects among sand flies fauna inhabiting two different environments: the várzea (lowland Amazonian forest) and terra firme (upland Amazonian forest), both located in Tefé Municipality, Amazonas State, B...

Teles, Carolina Bioni Garcia; dos Santos, Ana Paula Azevedo; Freitas, Rui Alves de; Oliveira, Arley Faria José de; Ogawa, Guilherme MaerschnerIn this study, we identified the phlebotomine sandfly vectors involved in the transmission of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) in Assis Brasil, Acre, Brazil, which is located on the Brazil-Peru-Bolivia frontier. The genotyping of Leishmania in phlebotomines was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. A total of 6,850 sandflies comprising 67 species...
Proventriculus of three nemobiinae crickets (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Trigonidii...
Serrao, Jose Eduardo; Sperber, Carlos Frankl; Szinwelski, Neucir; Rodrigues, Moreno S.; Pereira, Marcelo RibeiroThe morphology of the proventriculus may supply useful taxonomic characters for some species of crickets. This study evaluated if the proventriculus can be used to distinguish three species of Nemobiinae crickets: Phoremia sp. n., Zucchiella sp. n., and Amanayara sp n. In crickets the proventriculus presents six lobes, each one bearing eight appendices along its longitudinal axis. In Phoremia sp. n., the centra...
