"flebo" and not "phlebo", which was corrected by<BR>Agassiz (1846).<BR><BR>Best whises<BR>Carlos Brisola Marcondes<BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "JEROME DEPAQUIT" <<A href="mailto:jerome.depaquit@univ-reims.fr" ymailto="mailto:jerome.depaquit@univ-reims.fr">jerome.depaquit@univ-reims.fr</A>><BR>To: "Gilles Merlin" <<A href="mailto:gilles.merlin@univ-montp1.fr" ymailto="mailto:gilles.merlin@univ-montp1.fr">gilles.merlin@univ-montp1.fr</A>><BR>Cc: "Leish-L" <<A href="mailto:leish-l@lineu.icb.usp.br" ymailto="mailto:leish-l@lineu.icb.usp.br">leish-l@lineu.icb.usp.br</A>><BR>Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 12:44 PM<BR>Subject: Re: [Leish-l] sandfly, mosquito ..<BR><BR><BR>Dear All,<BR><BR>I completely agree with Gilles.
