Leishmaniasis transmission biology : role of Promastigote Secretory Gel as a transmission determinant

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Leishmaniasis is a complex vector-borne disease caused by Leishmania sp. (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) and is transmitted by female sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae). It is endemic in 88 countries where the prevalence is 12 million and 350 million people are at risk. The study of vector biology is essential to understand leishmaniasis epidemiology and to implement cost-effective vector control measures. This...
