Sand-fly saliva-Leishmania-man: the trigger trio

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
Leishmaniases are worldwide diseases transmitted to the vertebrate host by the bite of an infected sand fly. Sand fly biting and parasite inoculation are accompanied by the injection of salivary molecules, whose immunomodulatory properties are actively ...

Sand fly behavior: much more than weak-flying [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2021
Leishmaniases are diseases transmitted by some species of sand flies and are widely distributed throughout the tropical regions of the planet. Despite the low mobility of these vectors, the geographical distributions of some species are quite extensive, which hinders control and surveillance measures in endemic areas.The present study investigated the ...

Cyclic resistance of fly ash influenced by anisotropic stress condition, sand contents, and gravel content

Soils and Foundations, 2022
A series of cyclic triaxial tests were performed to study the effect of anisotropic stress, sand content (in a fly ash-sand mixture), and addition of gravel on the cyclic resistance of fly ash.

Combining epidemiology with basic biology of sand flies, parasites, and hosts to inform leishmaniasis transmission dynamics and control. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Quantitation of the nonlinear heterogeneities in Leishmania parasites, sand fly vectors, and mammalian host relationships provides insights to better understand leishmanial transmission epidemiology towards improving its control. The parasite manipulates

An overview of the sand fly salivary proteins in vaccine development against leishmaniases

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Leishmaniases are a group of vector-borne parasitic diseases transmitted through the infected sand flies. Leishmania parasites are inoculated into the host skin along with sand fly saliva.

Molecular Diversity between Salivary Proteins from New World and Old World Sand Flies with Emphasis on Bichromomyia olmeca, the Sand Fly Vector of Leishmania mexicana in Mesoamerica. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
BACKGROUND:Sand fly saliva has been shown to have proteins with potent biological activities, salivary proteins that can be used as biomarkers of vector exposure, and salivary proteins that are candidate vaccines against different forms of leishmaniasis.

Association of Lutzomyia columbiana (Diptera: Psychodidae) with a Leishmaniasis Focus in Colombia Due to Species of the Leishmania mexicana Complex [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
In Colombia, Leishmania mexicana has a scattered geographical distribution and no sand fly vectors have been associated with its transmission. During the present study, the anthropophilic sand fly Lutzomyia columbiana was found to be the only species ...

Visceral leishmaniasis on the Indian Subcontinent: Efficacy of fipronil-based cattle treatment in controlling sand fly populations is dependent on specific aspects of sand fly ecology.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND:Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a deadly disease transmitted by the sand fly Phlebotomus argentipes on the Indian subcontinent, with a promising means of vector control being orally treating cattle with fipronil-based drugs.
