Functional genomics in sand fly-derived Leishmania promastigotes.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 BackgroundLeishmania development in the sand fly gut leads to highly infective forms called metacyclic promastigotes. This process can be routinely mimicked in culture.

Sand-fly saliva-Leishmania-man: the trigger trio [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Leishmania, microbiota and sand fly immunity [PDF]
Parasitology, 2018 AbstractIn this review, we explore the state-of-the-art of sand fly relationships with microbiota, viruses andLeishmania, with particular emphasis on the vector immune responses. Insect-borne diseases are a major public health problem in the world. Phlebotomine sand flies are proven vectors of several aetiological agents including viruses, bacteria and

Detection and identification of Leishmania species within naturally infected sand flies in the Andean areas of Ecuador by a polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
, 2005 The surveillance of prevalent Leishmania and sand fly species in endemic areas is important for prediction of the risk and expansion of leishmaniasis. In this study, we developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detection of Leishmania ...
