Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Galactose binding protein (PpGalec) plays an important role in the specificity of Phlebotomus papatasi sandfly for Leishmania major. The molecular diversity of this ligand is currently unknown but might have some influence on the ability of PpGalec to efficiently recognize L. major in natural sandfly populations. OBJECTIVE: To explore the molecular diversity of the P. papatasi Galectin gene (PpGalec) in...
