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

Phlebotomine sandflies and associated pathogens in Algeria: update and comprehensive overview.
Veterinaria Italiana, 2021 Being the only established vectors of the protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, sand flies have become very important in all countries where leishmaniasis exists.

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.

Topical insecticide treatments to protect dogs from sand fly vectors of leishmaniasis. [PDF]
, 2001 We compared the susceptibility of sand fly vectors to four topical insecticide treatments applied to domestic dogs, a reservoir of human leishmaniasis. Dogs were exposed to sand flies pretreatment and at 1 week, 1 month, and 2 months posttreatment.

Lutzomyia longipalpis: an update on this sand fly vector [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Lutzomyia longipalpis is the most important vector of Leishmania infantum, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the New World. It is a permissive vector susceptible to infection with several Leishmania species. One of the advantages that favors the study of this sand fly is the possibility of colonization in the laboratory.

Breeding sites of Phlebotomus sergenti, the sand fly vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Judean Desert. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 Phlebotomine sand flies transmit Leishmania, phlebo-viruses and Bartonella to humans. A prominent gap in our knowledge of sand fly biology remains the ecology of their immature stages.
