Targeting the Midgut Secreted PpChit1 Reduces Leishmania major Development in Its Natural Vector, the Sand Fly Phlebotomus papatasi

TL;DR: The data supports targeting PpChit1 as a potential transmission blocking vaccine candidate against leishmaniasis and predicts that silencing of sand fly chitinase will lead to reduction or elimination of Leishmania within the gut of the sand fly vector.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic structure of natural populations of the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) from the Brazilian northeastern region

TL;DR: The genetic structuring patterns based on polymorphism analysis of 24 RAPD-PCR loci of 7 natural populations of Lutzomyia longipalpis obtained from Brazil's northeastern region suggest a moderate degree of geneticStructuring as a result of geographical isolation and restricted gene flow.
