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.

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
