Leishmania sp. detection and blood‐feeding behaviour of Sergentomyia minuta collected in the human leishmaniasis focus of southwestern Madrid, Spain (2012–2017)

Phlebotomine sand flies are the only known vectors of Leishmania spp. protozoan which causes leishmaniasis in 98 countries. In Spain, 11 sand fly species are described, but only Phlebotomus perniciosus and Phlebotomus ariasi are proven vectors of the disease. On the other hand, Sergentomyia minuta is one of the most abundant and ubiquitous sand flies in this territory, although scarce information is available about this species. Sand flies from this genus are known for their preference to feed on cold‐blooded animals and are traditionally involved in the transmission of reptile Leishmania. However, studies have suggested that Sergentomyia spp. could be implicated in the transmission of human pathogenic Leishmania. This study analyses blood meal preferences and Leishmania sp. infection of S. minuta sand flies from the largest human leishmaniasis outbreak in Europe. Sand flies were collected during entomological surveillance carries out from 2012 to 2017 in the active season of these dipterans, from May to October. Molecular detection of Leishmania spp. showed 68 positive specimens of S. minuta out of 377 (18%). The analysis of blood meal preferences by amplification of 359 bp fragment of cytochrome b gene revealed that blood preference of S. minuta is not only limited to reptiles, but they also feed on mammals, including humans. Results suggest the presence of a Leishmania sp., related to Leishmania tarentolae, cycle in S. minuta from the studied area. Although there is no evidence about its incrimination in the L. infantum transmission more investigation is needed to elucidate the intravectorial cycle of Leishmania spp. in S. minuta sand flies, their feeding behaviour and their potential contribution in Leishmania spp. epidemiology in the country

Vigilância entomológica de Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse, 1894) na Comunidade de Madrid: resultados prévios 2016–2020

The increasing spread of Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse, 1894)—commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito and potential vector of various arboviruses —along the Spanish Mediterranean coast and the intense traffic between this area and the Community of Madrid had increased the risk of its arrival in the latter region. Thus, in 2016 the Community of Madrid’s Health Department set up a program for the entomological surveillance and environmental health control of vectors that transmit arboviruses (dengue, chikungunya and zika).The aim of this paper is to analyze the information obtained in the course of this program from 2016 till 2020. Entomological surveillance was designed along the big axes formed by the radial highways that link Madrid with the Mediterranean coast. This active surveillance consisted in installing lethal ovitraps and looking for larvae hatcheries. This was complemented with passive, citizen-based surveillance via channels such as Mosquito Alert. In the summer of 2017, eggs resembling those of Ae. albopictus were found in a trap installed at a gas station on the N-III Highway. In 2018, two persons respectively submitted photos of adult mosquitoes they had seen in two municipalities of the Community of Madrid—Velilla de San Antonio and Rivas- Vaciamadrid, which were later confirmed to belong to this species by the Entomology Laboratory of the Complutense University of Madrid’s Biological Sciences Faculty. Subsequent entomological surveillance in these two municipalities showed that the Asian tiger mosquito had already settled in the former but not in latter. However, a second reintroduction apparently occurred in 2020, the presence of this species being confirmed in Rivas-Vaciamadrid.La creciente implantación de Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse, 1894), vector potencial de varias arbovirosis, comúnmente conocido como mosquito tigre, en el litoral mediterráneo y el gran tráfico existente entre esos lugares y la Comunidad de Madrid, aumentaba el riesgo de su llegada a la región. Por ello, esta Comunidad estableció, en el año 2016, el Programa de Vigilancia Entomológica y Control Sanitario-Ambiental de Vectores Transmisores de Arbovirus (dengue, chikungunya y zika). El objetivo de este manuscrito es analizar la información obtenida desde su puesta en marcha en 2016 hasta 2020. La vigilancia entomológica se diseñó en torno a los grandes ejes de las carreteras que comunican Madrid con el Mediterráneo. Esta vigilancia activa se realiza mediante la colocación de trampas de oviposición, de adultos y la prospección de criaderos larvarios. Se complementa mediante vigilancia pasiva con dispositivos como Mosquito Alert. En verano del 2017 se detectó la presencia de huevos compatibles con Ae. albopictus en una trampa ubicada en una gasolinera de la Nacional III. En el 2018, dos ciudadanos remitieron sendas fotos de mosquitos adultos encontrados en dos municipios de la Comunidad de Madrid, Velilla de San Antonio y Rivas-Vaciamadrid, que fueron confirmados por el laboratorio de entomología de la Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), como Ae. albopictus. El seguimiento entomológico posterior en estos dos municipios refleja el establecimiento del mosquito tigre en el primer municipio que no se confirmó en Rivas en 2018, pero sí en 2020 cuando aparentemente se produjo una segunda reintroducción.A crescente implantação de Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse, 1894), vetor potencial de vários arbovírus e comummente conhecido como mosquito tigre, no litoral mediterrâneo, e o grande tráfego existente entre estes lugares e a Comunidade de Madrid, aumentou o risco da sua chegada à região. Por essa razão, a Comunidade de Madrid estabeleceu, no ano de 2016, o Programa de Vigilância Entomológica e Controlo Sanitário-Ambiental de Vetores Transmissores de Arbovírus (dengue, chikungunya e zika). O objetivo desde artigo é analisar a informação obtida desde o início no ano de 2016 até ao ano de 2020. A vigilância entomológica foi desenhada em torno dos eixos principais das estradas radiais que ligam Madrid ao Mediterrâneo. Esta vigilância ativa realiza- se mediante a colocação de armadilhas de oviposição, de adultos e a prospeção de criadouros de larvas. É complementada com dispositivos como o Mosquito Alert. No verão de 2017 detetou-se a presença de ovos compatíveis com Ae. albopictus numa armadilha localizada num posto de combustível na Nacional III. No ano de 2018, dois cidadãos enviaram fotografias de mosquitos adultos encontrados em dois municípios da Comunidade de Madrid, Velilla de San Antonio y Rivas-Vaciamadrid, que foram confirmados em laboratório de entomologia da Faculdade de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Complutense de Madrid, como Ae. albopictus. A monitorização entomológica subsequente nesses dois municípios reflete o estabelecimento do mosquito tigre no primeiro município, o que não foi confirmado em Rivas em 2018, mas sim em 2020, quando uma segunda reintrodução aparentemente ocorreu

Charged-particle multiplicity fluctuations in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV

Measurements of event-by-event fluctuations of charged-particle multiplicities in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented in the pseudorapidity range |η|<0.8 and transverse momentum 0.2<pT<2.0 GeV/c. The amplitude of the fluctuations is expressed in terms of the variance normalized by the mean of the multiplicity distribution. The η and pT dependences of the fluctuations and their evolution with respect to collision centrality are investigated. The multiplicity fluctuations tend to decrease from peripheral to central collisions. The results are compared to those obtained from HIJING and AMPT Monte Carlo event generators as well as to experimental data at lower collision energies. Additionally, the measured multiplicity fluctuations are discussed in the context of the isothermal compressibility of the high-density strongly-interacting system formed in central Pb–Pb collisions
