Effects of anti‐Leishmania compounds in the behavior of the sand fly vector Lutzomyia longipalpis
Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 7, Page 2792-2805, July 2022., 2022 Sugar baits can be used to block the development of Leishmania parasites inside the gut of the vector, adult female sand flies. In this work, we screened a series of synthetic compounds and showed that three of them are suitable for the future development of baits targeting the Leishmania parasites inside the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis.
