Application of COI DNA barcode to identify phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Maranhão in leishmaniasis-endemic areas, Northeast Brazil.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of DNA barcoding, based on the mitochondrial COI gene, in delimiting species of the subfamily Phlebotominae from Maranhão, in addition to generating new molecular information and detecting possible cryptic species. Fragments of the COI gene were sequenced and integrated into publi...

Cryptic taxa in the morphospecies Bichromomyia flaviscutellata uncovered by expanded geographic sampling and COI DNA barcodes.

The Neotropical sand fly species Bichromomyia flaviscutellata is widely distributed and the main vector of Leishmania amazonensis. Previous molecular studies suggested that it comprises at least two morphologically cryptic taxa, but sampling has remained geographically limited. In this study, we expanded specimen colle...
