The olfactory response in insects is initiated by the reception of chemical compounds by the antennas that will be transported to the neurons by means of odor proteins, also known as Odorant Binding Proteins (OBPs), triggering behaviors of approach or repellency of the insect. The studies in chemical ecology investigate the aspects involved in this process such as: identity of the chemica…
Some sand fly species (Diptera:Psychodidae), vectors of leishmaniasis, are considered difficult to breed or present low productivity in laboratory. Such limitations hinder bioassays which need a large number of insects. The sand fly species Nyssomyia neivai (=Lutzomyia neivai), considered as vector of American cutaneous leishmaniasis, is one of those species. Attempts to maintain this spe…
Leishmaniasis is a zoonosis caused by protozoa parasites. World Health Organization (WHO) considers a global public health problem being endemic in 97 countries. In Brazil, the visceral form of the disease has the etiological agent Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi, which has as main vector dipterous of the species Lutzomyia longipalpis. Governmental epidemiological surveillance ai…
Leishmaniasis are zoonoses caused by flagellate protozoa from the genus Leishmania transmitted by hematophagous insects called sandflies. Among the sandflies species, Nyssomyia neivai is considered as one of the main transmitters of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) on the state of São Paulo. This specie is found in the region of Araraquara besides have being found naturally infected…
It is estimated that Chagas disease affects 10 million people around the world, primarily in the Americas. Triatomine, vectors of the causative agent Trypanosoma cruzi, have in saliva pharmacologically active substances that help during the biting process. Such substances are mainly involved in the activation and platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction and local blood clotting, and also ca…
