Performance of Extracellular Vesicles From Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum for Serological Diagnosis of Human and Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic disease in which dogs are the main reservoirs. Until now, the serological tests do not present satisfactory sensitivity for diagnosis of these hosts. One of the functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is related to immunological host response.

The RNA interference response to alphanodavirus replication in Phlebotomus papatasi sand fly cells

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 687-696, December 2024.
Both the siRNA and piRNA pathways are transcriptionally active in Phlebotomus papatasi PP9ad cells. Assembly of small RNA sequencing identifies an adventitious nodavirus (American nodavirus [ANV]) in PP9ad cells. ANV is actively replicating in PP9ad cells and is targeted by the exo‐siRNA pathway but not the piRNA pathway.

Characterization of a midgut mucin-like glycoconjugate of Lutzomyia longipalpis with a potential role in Leishmania attachment

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
BackgroundLeishmania parasites are transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies and a crucial step in their life-cycle is the binding to the sand fly midgut.

Ecological determinants of leishmaniasis vector, Lutzomyia spp.: A scoping review

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 393-406, December 2024.
Lutzomyia spp. survival is impacted by climatic, habitat and geodemographic factors. Lutzomyia spp. have demonstrated a wide range of temperature tolerance, ranging from 11 to 30°C. There is limited research on this topic, posing a significant challenge for future studies. Abstract Leishmania spp. are zoonotic parasites transmitted by phlebotomine sand

Redescription of Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) renei Martins, Falcão & Silva, 1957 (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

Zootaxa, 2015
The male genitalia of Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) renei (Martins, Falcão & Silva, 1957) have four bristles, three fine and one semi-foliaceous, inserted basomesally on the gonocoxite. Nonetheless, in the original description and in other taxonomic studies, these bristles have been illustrated and described in varying formats.
