“…This is the first record of natural infection of T. ubiquitalis with L. lainsoni in Ecuador, which may help to establish the distribution of the parasite and its vector. According to ( Forattini 1973 ), Brumptomyia species do not have epidemiological importance in the transmission of Leishmania spp. to humans, and some species are known for feeding on other mammals like armadillos.…”

The detection and identification of natural infections in sand flies by Leishmania protozoan species in endemic areas is a key factor in assessing the risk of leishmaniasis and in designing prevention and control measures for this infectious disease. In this study, we analyzed the Leishmania DNA using nuclear ribosomal internal transcript spacer (ITS) sequences. Parasite DNA was extracted from naturally infected, blood-fed sand flies collected in nine localities considered leishmaniasis-endemic foci in Ecuador.The species of parasites identified in sand flies were Leishmania major-like, Leishmania naiffi, Leishmania mexicana, Leishmania lainsoni, and “Leishmania sp. siamensis”. Sand fly specimens of Brumptomyia leopoldoi, Mycropigomyia cayennensis, Nyssomyia yuilli yuilli, Nyssomyia trapidoi, Pressatia triacantha, Pressatia dysponeta, Psychodopygus carrerai carrerai, Psychodopygus panamensis, and Trichophoromyia ubiquitalis were found positive for Leishmania parasite. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the epidemiology and transmission dynamics of the disease in high-risk areas of Ecuador.

“…), while flies were identified at the family level (Muscidae, Simuliidae, Psychodidae, Anthomyiidae, Calliphoridae, Fanniidae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae). Both mosquito and fly identification were conducted by a specialist (SC‐E), following Forattini (2002) and Rafael et al (2012). Hematophagous and saprophagous flies were separated based on their mouth morphology.…”

Ingested‐derived DNA (iDNA) from insects represents a powerful tool for assessing vertebrate diversity because insects are easy to sample, have a diverse diet and are widely distributed. Because of these advantages, the use of iDNA for detecting mammals has gained increasing attention. Here we aimed to compare the effectiveness of mosquitoes and flies to detect mammals with a small sampling effort in a semi‐controlled area, a zoo that houses native and non‐native species. We compared mosquitoes and flies regarding the number of mammal species detected, the amount of mammal sequence reads recovered, and the flight distance range for detecting mammals. We also verified if the combination of two mini‐barcodes (12SrRNA and 16SrRNA) would perform better than either mini‐barcode alone to inform local mammal biodiversity from iDNA. To capture mosquitoes and flies, we distributed insect traps in eight sampling points during 5 days. We identified 43 Operational Taxonomic Units from 10 orders, from the iDNA of 17 mosquitoes and 46 flies. There was no difference in the number of species recovered per individual insect between mosquitoes and flies, but the number of flies captured was higher, resulting in more mammal species recovered by flies. Eight species were recorded exclusively by mosquitoes and 20 by flies, suggesting that using both samplers would allow a more comprehensive screening of the biodiversity. The maximum distance recorded was 337 m for flies and 289 m for mosquitoes, but the average range distance did not differ between insect groups. Our assay proved to be efficient for mammal detection, considering the high number of species detected with a reduced sampling effort.

“…Segundo Forattini (1997), a expressão medicina tropical teve sua origem no sistema colonialista, tratando-se de uma denominação consagrada pelo uso e empregada corretamente para os problemas nosológicos de regiões com predomínio do macroclima tropical e subtropical.…”

“…Deve-se destacar, também, que vários outros fatores contribuem na problemática das doenças endêmicas, emergentes e ressurgentes, as quais são encontradas em todo o território do Brasil, fazendo-se o Brasil ser constituído de vários Brasis, como, por exemplo, a região Sul é considerada como próxima a país desenvolvido (Forattini, 1997).…”

ResumoRealizou-se um estudo de avaliação da Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, por meio de procedimentos de técnicas bibliométricas que identificaram qualidades e consistência científicas do periódico. Verificouse, mediante os resultados obtidos, que os conceitos de avaliação indicaram elevado desempenho do mesmo em relação aos seus aspectos intrínsecos e extrínsecos que permitiram conhecer: tipologia dos artigos publicados nas seções, temática enfocada para determinar o núcleo de assuntos de pesquisas realizadas e publicadas, procedência de autoria -nacional e estrangeira, vínculo autor/instituição, distribuição -, mala direta, identificação das bases de dados nas quais o periódico é indexado e freqüência de citação. Esses resultados oferecem importantes dados que podem contribuir significativamente como parâmetro para o estudo de avaliação de outros periódicos científicos. Palavras-chavePeriódicos; Medicina tropical; Estudos de avaliação; Indicadores bibliométricos. Evaluation of a periodical in the tropical medicine area AbstractAn evaluation study of "Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo" was made using bibliometric analysis which have identified the scientific qualities and consistency of the periodical. Results indicated a significative performance in relation to its intrinsic and extrinsic aspects, namely: typology of the documents the sections, main research themes, origin of the authors (national and international), author-institution filiation, distribution (mailing list), data bases where the periodical is indexed and number of citations. These results offer important data that can contribute significantly as a parameter for evaluation studies of other scientific periodicals.
