Combining climatic projections and dispersal ability: A method for estimating the responses of sandfly vector species to climate change
Submitted by susan on Wed, 2011-11-30 11:45
In the Old World, sandfly species of the genus Phlebotomus are known vectors of Leishmania, Bartonella and several viruses. Recent sandfly catches and autochthonous cases of leishmaniasis hint on spreading tendencies of the vectors towards Central Europe. However, studies addressing potential future distribution of sandflies in the light of a changing European climate are missing.
