Seasonal and Physiological Variations of Phlebotomus papatasi Salivary Gland Antigens in Central Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2016
Background: Sand fly saliva helps parasite establishment and induce immune responses in vertebrate hosts. In the current study, we investigated the modulation of Phlebotomus papatasi salivary gland antigen expression by sea­sonal and biological factors.

Colonisation resistance in the sand fly gut: Leishmania protects Lutzomyia longipalpis from bacterial infection

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Phlebotomine sand flies transmit the haemoflagellate Leishmania, the causative agent of human leishmaniasis. The Leishmania promastigotes are confined to the gut lumen and are exposed to the gut microbiota within female sand flies.

Development of Leishmania mexicana in Lutzomyia longipalpis in the absence of sugar feeding

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2019
The leishmaniases are caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted through the bites of phlebotomine sand flies. During parasite development inside the vector’s midgut, promastigotes move towards the stomodeal valve, a mechanism that is crucial for ...
