Bacteria composition and diversity in the gut of sand fly: impact on Leishmania and sand fly development

open access: yesInternational Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2020
Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) are the only proven vectors of leishmaniasis. Leishmania parasites develop and differentiate in the sand fly gut where they reside alongside the vector's gut bacteria. Gut bacteria are important to sand fly's nutrition, oviposition, and defence against pathogens.

Establishment and maintenance of sand fly colonies

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2011
Sand flies used to have a reputation for being difficult and labour-intensive to breed. Here we summarize our experience with establishment and maintenance of sand fly colonies and their use for infective experiments: techniques for collection and handling wild-caught females, rearing larvae and adults and experimental infections of sand flies by ...

THE SAND-FLY AND PELLAGRA

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1912
For more than 200 years the etiology of pellagra has been a subject of serious inquiry. This problem, formerly an Old World question, now concerns us, and it still awaits solution. Though the disease is positively known to have existed in this country for less than thirty years, it is now found in almost one-half the states of the Union, becoming in ...

The biological function of sand fly and Leishmania glycosidases

Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 2001
This is a summary of the recent work on some glycosidases of sand flies and their Leishmania parasites. Glycosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of complex sugar subunits of polysaccharides into simple sugars. Leishmania major parasites secrete chitinase and N-acetylglucosaminase, which enables them to survive in the gut of the sand fly and are important ...
