TL;DR: The northern part of this emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Israel is distinct from all known L. tropica foci, and P. arabicus is the main vector, and it transmits parasites that are different from other L. Tropica isolates, with respect to antigenic, molecular, and biochemical parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saliva of Lutzomyia longipalpis sibling species differs in its composition and capacity to enhance leishmaniasis.
TL;DR: Costa Rican Lutzomyia longipalpis, vectors of non-ulcerative cutaneous disease, have very low vasodilatory activity and very little maxadilan, but their saliva strongly enhances cutaneous proliferation of Leishmania infections, suggesting that species of Lutzomers differ in their propensity to modulate the pathology of the disease they transmit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lutzomyia longipalpis is a species complex : genetic divergence and interspecific hybrid sterility among three populations
TL;DR: These results provide strong evidence that Lu.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Infection with Leishmania tropica is emerging because of encroachment of rock hyraxes and transmission by multiple vector species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmaniasis in Israel: reservoir hosts, sandfly vectors and leishmanial strains in the Negev, Central Arava and along the Dead Sea
TL;DR: The subjects discussed are the dependence of sandfly distribution on rodent-burrow depth in arid areas and the inter-relationship between the leishmanial subtypes, vectors and hosts.
