Phlebotomine sandflies transmit pathogens that affect humans and animals worldwide. We
review the roles of phlebotomines in the spreading of leishmaniases, sandfly fever, summer …

The taxonomy and systematics of sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) are one

Lutzomyia longipalpis sl is a complex of sibling species and is the principal vector of
American visceral leishmaniasis. The present review summarises the diversity of efforts that …

A review of the literature related to the molecular systematics of the Phlebotomine sandflies

A number of insects produce acoustic signals during courtship. Genes involved in the control
of the courtship song are particularly interesting from an evolutionary viewpoint because …

Acoustic signals play an important role in mate selection and speciation in diverse groups of
insects. We report reciprocal acoustic mate signalling, often as highly synchronised duetting …
