Mosquitoes and phlebotomine sandflies are infectious disease vectors through hematophagy. The development of hematophagy likely provided an evolutionary advantage, offering a rich nutrient source for reproduction. These insects exhibit diverse blood‐feeding patterns, from invertebrates to various vertebrates. Multiple sensory cues to guide host‐seeking

Case of widespread and atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis in a young woman with breast cancer
Key Clinical Message Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania. Atypical presentation and widespread progression of the lesions may be seen in an immunocompromised patient. We report a case of atypical and widespread cutaneous leishmaniasis in a young woman with breast cancer.

Wild rabbits are Leishmania infantum reservoirs in southeastern Spain
Abstract Objective We contribute to the understanding of the transmission dynamics of Leishmania infantum suggesting the involvement of rabbits as wild reservoirs. Results The prevalence of infection was 86.0% (270/314 wild rabbits) ranging from 18.2% to 100% in natural geographical regions.

Infection of Phlebotomus sergenti with Leishmania tropica [PDF]
WORKING in the Government Central Laboratory, Baghdad, as guests of the director, Dr. A. E. Mills, we found that cultures of a strain of Leishmania tropica behaved in P. sergenti exactly as in P. papatasii, that is, in sandflies infected by feeding through a membrane the flagellates tended to an anterior position.
