    A programme for computer aided identification of Phlebotomine sandflies of the Americas (CIPA): presentation and check-list of American species
    (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 1993) Harry Bermudez; J. P. Dedet; Mel Duncan; Alda Lima Falcão; M. Dora Feliciangeli; C. Ferro; Eunice Aparecida Bianchi Galati; E. A. Gomez-Landires; Marco V. Herrero; David Abril Hervàs
    The CIPA programme is a collaborative project including two entomologists from France and seven from South and Central America countries. Its objective is the development of an expert system for computer aided identification of phlebotomine sandflies from the Americas. It also includes the formation of data bases for bibliographic, taxonomic and biogeographic data. Participant consensus on taxonomic prerequisites, standardization in bibliographic data collections and selection of descriptive variables for the final programme has been established through continuous communication among participants and annual meetings. The adopted check-list of American sandflies presented here includes 386 specific taxa, ordered into three genera and 28 sub-genera or species groups.

    Les hôtes naturels de<i>Trypanosoma</i>cruzi en Guyane Française
    (EDP Sciences, 1985) J. P. Dedet; Jean‐Philippe Chippaux; P. Goyot; Franck Pajot; Michel Tibayrenc; Bernard Geoffroy; Hervé Gosselin; P. Jacquet-Vialet
    During an epidemiological survey in French Guiana, three species of Marsupiala were found infected by Trypanosoma cruzi with high infection rates (30,8% for Didelphis marsupialis). Six Triatomine bug species were recorded, five of them being well known vectors of Chagas' disease. Iso-enzyme characterization of 22 stocks isolated (16 from D. marsupialis, 3 from Philander opossum and 3 from Rhodnius prolixus) revealed that they were all related to zymodeme 1 of Miles. The silvatic cycle is endemic in the various ecotopes studied. The high prevalence rates of infection in D. marsupialis in the human settlement of Cacao and the finding in this locality of domestic breeding of Rhodnius pictipes lead to suspect the occurrence of a peridomestic cycle in this village. The evidence of R. prolixus colonizing houses in the vicinity of Cayenne emphasizes the risk of Chagas' disease in French Guiana.
