Phlebotomine sandflies and factors associated with their abundance in the leishmaniasis endemic area of Attiki, Greece

Abstract: Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease of animals and humans caused by several Leishmania species and transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. The aim of the present study was to identify the species of field collected phlebotomine sandflies in the endemic area of the Attiki during 4 consecutive years, to isolate the Leishmania parasites from the infected sandflies, and identify possible factors associated with sandfly abundance in the area. A total of 542 trappings were made in 46 collection sites, in purely urba… Show more

“…In the present study, the collection of sandflies provided additional evidence for the exposure to L. infantum , even though only three pools of female sandflies provided a faint band that was considered as positive by the authors. Considering that one female was positive in each pool, it gives an estimate of infection of 0.34 % which is very similar to previous publication ( Boutsini et al, 2018 ). In this previous study also conducted in Greece ( Boutsini et al, 2018 ), out of 3254 sandflies trapped, 1448 (44.43 %) were female and 241 (16.64 %) of the females were blood fed while L. infantum DNA was detected in 0.41 % of them.…”

“…This study was conducted in Sounio, Xanthi region (north-eastern Greece, 41°07′37.6″N 25°02′56.6″E) where there is a high seroprevalence of leishmaniosis (previously published as being around 48 %) ( Boutsini et al, 2018 ; Gallidis et al, 2016; Ntais et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Η εξέλιξη των φλεβοτόμων όμως, παρατηρείται ακόμη και σε ενδοειδικό επίπεδο ανάλογα με την περιοχή και τις πιέσεις που δέχεται εκεί ο κάθε πληθυσμός (Belen et al, 2004;Badakhshan et al, 2011;Dvořák et al, 2011 Dvořák et al, 2020a), ενώ τρεις ακόμη ερευνητικές ομάδες έχουν μέχρι στιγμής προσθέσει δεδομένα στην εξάπλωση των φλεβοτόμων στην Ελλάδα (Xanthopoulou et al, 2011;Boutsini et al, 2017;Giantsis et al, 2020). Τα είδη με μεγαλύτερο υγειονομικό ενδιαφέρον στη μετάδοση της λεϊσμανίασης, είναι τα P. (Larroussius) tobbi, P.…”

“…Σε απόλυτους αριθμούς, το P. neglectus (3455) ήταν το κυρίαρχο είδος, ακολουθούμενο από το P. similis (1820). Το ίδιο παρατηρήθηκε στην Αττική, τη Θεσσαλονίκη και τα νησιά του Ιονίου και του Αιγαίου, όποτε τα δύο αυτά είδη ήταν συμπάτρια (Ivović et al, 2007;Xanthopoulou et al, 2011;Christodoulou et al, 2012;Boutsini et al, 2017;. Η μοναδική φορά που παρατηρήθηκε το P. similis να έχει μεγαλύτερη αφθονία από το P.…”
