The Gut Microbiome of the Vector <i>Lutzomyia longipalpis</i> Is Essential for Survival of <i>Leishmania infantum</i>

18 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

The vector-borne disease leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania species protozoa, is transmitted to humans by phlebotomine sand flies. Development of Leishmania to infective metacyclic promastigotes in the insect gut, a process termed metacyclogenesis, is an essential prerequisite for transmission. Based on the hypothesis that vector gut microbiota influence the development of virulent parasites, we sequenced midgut...
