A practical method for mass breending of sandflies in the laboratory: Lutyzomyia intermedia (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) and Lutyzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Single and concomitant experimental infectionsby Endotrypanum spp. and Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) in the Neotropical sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae)

“…Sand flies -Females of L. longipalpis were collected at Lapinha Cave (19 o 33'40"S, 43 o 57'30"W) and were reared in accordance with Rangel et al (1986Rangel et al ( , 1987 and Wermelinger et al (1987). Adults were collected with CDC light traps and were shipped to Rio de Janeiro within cages.…”

Guide to the Identification and Geographic Distribution of Lutzomyia Sand Flies in Mexico, the West Indies, Central and South America (Diptera:Psychodidae)

“…Lainson et al 1987: 421 (exp. data, transmission of Leishmania chagasi). Wermelinger et al 1987: 441 (lab rearing). Feliciangeli 1988: 103 (dist., Venezuela).…”

Characterization of constitutive and putative differentially expressed mRNAs by means of expressed sequence tags, differential display reverse transcriptase-PCR and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR from the sand fly vector Lutzomyia longipalpis

“…These were reared as previously described (Wermelinger et al 1987). Adult insects were given a sugar meal upon eclosion from pupae stage with a cotton embedded on a sucrose-based solution; (b) for DDRT and RAPD-PCR experiments we utilized midguts from insects captured at the Lapinha Cave, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil.…”
