Characterisation of Geranylgeranyl Diphosphate Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2023 Leishmaniasis is a debilitating and often fatal neglected tropical disease. Males from sub-populations of the Leishmania-harbouring sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, produce the diterpene sex and aggregation pheromone, sobralene, for which geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) is the likely isoprenoid precursor.

Carbohydrate digestion in Lutzomyia longipalpis’ larvae (Diptera – Psychodidae)
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2012 Lutzomyia longipalpis is the principal species of phlebotomine incriminated as vector of Leishmania infantum, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis in the Americas. Despite its importance as vector, almost nothing related to the larval biology, especially about its digestive system has been published. The objective of the present study was to
