Selection of Phlebotomus papatasi (Diptera: Psychodidae) lines susceptible and refractory to Leishmania major infection.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene - 1 Apr 1990

Wu W K, Tesh R B

Abstract excerpt

Variation in susceptibility to infection with cultured promastigotes of Leishmania major was detected among 3 different geographic strains (ISRAEL, EGYPT, and INDIA) of the sand fly Phlebotomus papatasi. The ISRAEL strain showed the greatest susceptibility and was chosen for subsequent genetic selection experiments. After 13 generations of genetic selection in this strain, a stable refractory line was obtained in...
