“…Some female insects were dissected, the genital fork, ducts and spermathecae separated, following Killick-Kendrick et al (1994), but staining was done with acid fucsin and the flies were mounted in NC. All measurements are in µm.…”

The AFHSC-Division of GEIS Operations Predictive Surveillance Program: a multidisciplinary approach for the early detection and response to disease outbreaks

et al. 2011

The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, Division of Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System Operations (AFHSC-GEIS) initiated a coordinated, multidisciplinary program to link data sets and information derived from eco-climatic remote sensing activities, ecologic niche modeling, arthropod vector, animal disease-host/reservoir, and human disease surveillance for febrile illnesses, into a predictive surveillance program that generates advisories and alerts on emerging infectious disease outbreaks. The program’s ultimate goal is pro-active public health practice through pre-event preparedness, prevention and control, and response decision-making and prioritization. This multidisciplinary program is rooted in over 10 years experience in predictive surveillance for Rift Valley fever outbreaks in Eastern Africa. The AFHSC-GEIS Rift Valley fever project is based on the identification and use of disease-emergence critical detection points as reliable signals for increased outbreak risk. The AFHSC-GEIS predictive surveillance program has formalized the Rift Valley fever project into a structured template for extending predictive surveillance capability to other Department of Defense (DoD)-priority vector- and water-borne, and zoonotic diseases and geographic areas. These include leishmaniasis, malaria, and Crimea-Congo and other viral hemorrhagic fevers in Central Asia and Africa, dengue fever in Asia and the Americas, Japanese encephalitis (JE) and chikungunya fever in Asia, and rickettsial and other tick-borne infections in the U.S., Africa and Asia.

“…After the wildcaught females were identiÞed as described above, they were cleared in NesbittÕs solution overnight and the spermathecae were dissected individually as described in Killick-Kendrick et al (1994) and GebreMichael and Lane (1996). The spermathecae and the rest of the dissected females were mounted for examination, camera-lucida drawings and measurements.…”

<I>Phlebotomus (Paraphlebotomus) gemetchi</I> (Diptera: Psychodidae), A New Sand Fly Species from Ethiopia

The subgenus Paraphlebotomus of Phlebotomus includes several sand fly vectors of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis. A new species of the subgenus Paraphlebotomus, named Phlebotomus gemetchi is described from the volcanic blisters by the shore of lake Beseka near Metahara, Upper Awash Valley, in the Rift Valley of eastern Ethiopia. The presence of one distinct character in the male genitalia (a bifurcating 'y'-shaped spine at the middle of the style) and three characters in the female (lengths of the fourth antennal and palpal segments and labrum) easily distinguish it from the other Afrotropical species recorded in East Africa including Ethiopia. The new species is 1 of 5 species representing the subgenus in Ethiopia as well as the rest of the Afrotropical Region. The distribution and medical importance of this sand fly species requires further investigation.
