Development of flagellates of the genus Porcisia and subgenus Mundinia in phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) and ceratopogonid midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)

The main part of the thesis is focused on flagellates of the genus Porcisia, parasitizing Neotropical porcupines with unknown vectors. The development of two known species of this genus (P. deanei and P. hertigi) in two sand fly species (Lu. migonei, Lu. longipalpis) and biting midges C. sonorensis was studied using experimental infections. While P. hertigi did not survive defecation in females of either vector, P. deanei formed strong mature infections in 51-61% of Lu. longipalpis and in a smaller percentage in Lu. migonei (7 %) and C. sonorensis (7 %). Porcisia showed significantly smaller size than the control species L. infantum but formed the same morphological forms. The localization of P. deanei was exceptional; infections were detected predominantly in Malpighian tubules. Further experiments demonstrated the presence of P. deanei in the urine of Lu. longipalpis excreted during prediuresis and successful transmission of parasites to BALB/c mice by this unique route. Thus, Lu. longipalpis is a competent vector of P. deanei, but other vector species may be involved in transmission at endemic localities. A minor part is focused on the comparison of the morphology of two Mundinia species - L. martiniquensis and L. orientalis - during development in biting midges C. sonorensis and sand flies Ph....
