| In World War II, there was a high incidence of leishmaniasis and sandfly fever in troops deployed to the Persian Gulf region. |
|
| Recently a protein isolated from the salivary gland of a biting sandfly was shown to have a very powerful vasodilation effect. |
|
| They were also not bothered by the troublesome fly but by the sandfly instead. |
|
| Various forms of leishmaniasis are spread by the sandfly and are endemic in 88 countries on five continents. |
|
| Depending on the Leishmania strain and the sandfly species, the major reservoirs of disease are dogs or rodents and sometimes humans. |
|
| Their faces are scarred from infections caused by sandfly bites, and they are dressed in filthy rags. |
|
| If a sandfly dines on an infected vertebrate, it will ingest cells containing amastigotes, which develop into promastigotes in its gut. |
|
| The only change I would love to see would be the end of the sandfly. |
|
| One form, which inhabits the digestive tract of the sandfly, is an elongated, motile, flagellated form called a promastigote or leptimonad. |
|
| Other common names for the winged stages are shadfly, sandfly, dayfly, fishfly, and drake. |
|
| Cyclical transmission in the sandfly vector was achieved with the team of Pr P. Volf at Charles University, Prague. |
|
| Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of the sandfly. |
|
| The male of this sandfly usually has 2 terminal and 3 subterminal spines, and 3 of which are arranged in a row. |
|
| Leishmaniasis, human protozoal infection spread by the bite of a sandfly. |
|
| They are transmitted to humans by the bite of a bloodsucking sandfly, which belongs to the genus Lutzomyia in the Americas and to Phlebotomus in the Old World. |
|
| Spread of the disease is prevented by controlling sandfly populations. |
|
| Filariasis is common throughout India and sandfly fever is increasing. |
|
| I saw six species of honeyeaters new to me and went home with 16 lifers and some bad sandfly bites. |
|
| The new Sandfly and Damselfly lines include a lightweight, mesh jacket and pants designed to pack small and protect big. |
