Sex differentiation, divergence, and introgression in the leishmaniasis vector Lutzomyia longipalpis

2025-04-14

Abstract excerpt

An estimated one billion people are at risk of acquiring the disease leishmaniasis annually. This disease, among others, is transmitted to humans via sandfly vectors of the family Psychodidae. In the Neotropics, Lutzomyia longipalpis is one of the most common vectors of leishmaniasis, but little is known about its genetics and population structure, hampering control efforts. We generated sex-specific genome assemb...
