Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.1K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Parasitology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis poses a major public health challenge in endemic regions.
  • Sand flies are the biological vectors transmitting Leishmania parasites to hosts.
  • Poldokhtar County in Iran is an endemic area with limited epidemiological data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify sand fly vectors and Leishmania species in Poldokhtar County.
  • To assess the role of sand flies in the transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the region.

Main Methods:

  • Sand fly specimens were collected using sticky paper traps from July to September 2015.
  • Sand fly species were identified using diagnostic keys.
  • Nested-polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism were employed to detect and identify Leishmania species in sand flies.

Main Results:

  • A total of 2000 sand fly specimens, representing 8 species (6 Phlebotomus, 2 Sergentomyia), were identified.
  • Phlebotomus papatasi was the predominant species in outdoor environments, while Sergentomyia sintoni dominated indoors.
  • Of 163 female P. papatasi examined, 10 (6.1%) tested positive for Leishmania major infection.

Conclusions:

  • This study reports the first instance of Leishmania major infection in P. papatasi within the Poldokhtar region.
  • The high outdoor density of P. papatasi and its infection with L. major indicate its significant role as a primary vector.
  • Findings provide crucial data for developing targeted control and prevention strategies against cutaneous leishmaniasis in this endemic area.
