Molecular identification of phlebotomine sand flies and the harbored Leishmania spp. in Sokoto State, Nigeria

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionFemale sand flies are hematophagous, feeding on animals and in the process serve as vectors for Leishmania, the parasites that cause leishmaniasis in humans.

Enzootic transmission of Leishmania spp. in gallery forests of the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Gallery forests harbor mammals and sand flies that may be involved in the transmission of Leishmania spp. parasites. Characterizing the enzootic cycles of Leishmania spp. is essential for understanding its transmission dynamics.
