Plant-feeding phlebotomine sand flies, vectors of leishmaniasis, prefer Cannabis sativa

29 Oct 2018

Abstract excerpt

Significance Sand fly females suck blood from vertebrate animals, including humans, and thereby transmit Leishmania parasites and arboviruses. In addition, both sand fly sexes consume plant-derived sugar meals. Therefore, the structure of plant communities can influence the transmission dynamics of sand fly-borne diseases. Our findings demonstrate that, in proportion to their abundance, Cannabis sativa plants...
