ARRIVILLAGA, Jazzmin. Isozymic Identification of Lutzomyia pseudolongipalpis, New Vector Species of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Venezuela: Technical Note. Rev. Cient. (Maracaibo) [online]. 2009, vol.19, n.4, pp.339-342. ISSN 0798-2259.

Lutzomyia pseudolongipalpis, new vector species of visceral leishmaniasis (LV) reported for Venezuela, must be identified taxonomically by two criteria: morphological characters should be used for a preliminary differentiation, and secondly, be used isoenzymic markers (adenylate kinase and hexokinase), for species within the complex species Lutzomyia longipalpis, for taxonomic validation.
