Psychodopygus wellcomei (Diptera: Psychodidae), vector of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis - causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil, cannot be distinguished from sympatric P. complexus either by morphometrics or isoenzyme profiles. We report here the use of cuticular hydrocarbon analysis in the successful separation of individual female P. wellcomei and P. complexus. This technique involves the use of gas liquid chromatography and discriminant function analysis.
威氏白蛉(双翅目:毛蠓科)是巴西皮肤利什曼病病原体巴西利什曼原虫的传播媒介,无论是通过形态测量还是同工酶谱,都无法将其与同域分布的复杂白蛉区分开来。我们在此报告,通过表皮碳氢化合物分析成功分离出了威氏白蛉和复杂白蛉的单个雌性个体。这项技术涉及气液色谱法和判别函数分析的应用。
