Comparative Evolution of Sand Fly Salivary Protein Families and Implications for Biomarkers of Vector Exposure and Salivary Vaccine Candidates
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the molecular evolution of the salivary protein families in New World and Old World sand flies from 14 different sand fly vectors finds that the protein families unique to OW sand flies are more conserved than those unique to NW sand flies regarding both sequence polymorphisms and copy number variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odorant ligands for the CO2 receptor in two Anopheles vectors of malaria.
TL;DR: The electrophysiological testing of three prolonged-activator odorants identified originally in Aedes aegypti showed varying ability to reduce the CO2-ellicited increase in spikes, providing a foundation for comparing the functional conservation with the evolutionary conservation of an important class of odorant receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological genomics of sand fly salivary gland genes: An overview
TL;DR: Identifying what environmental factors effectively modulate sand fly saliva in the field is a critical step towards the development of meaningful protection strategies against leishmaniasis that are based on salivary compounds from sand fly vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania infection induces a limited differential gene expression in the sand fly midgut
Iliano V. Coutinho-Abreu,Tiago D. Serafim,Claudio Meneses,Shaden Kamhawi,Fabiano Oliveira,Jesus G. Valenzuela +5 more
TL;DR: Leishmania modulates sand fly gene expression early on in the developmental cycle in order to overcome the barriers imposed by the midgut, yet it behaves like a commensal at later time points where a massive number of parasites in the anterior midGut results only in modest changes in midguts gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Pernambuco State, northeastern Brazil: The presence of species incriminated as vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Amazon region
Valdir de Queiroz Balbino,Maria Sandra Andrade,Iliano V. Coutinho-Abreu,I. V. Sonoda,Carlos Brisola Marcondes,Jeffrey Jon Shaw,Sinval Pinto Brandão-Filho +6 more
TL;DR: A total of 83,499 phlebotomine sand flies belonging to 23 species were captured in CDC light traps and from humans in three areas of the northeastern coastal region of Pernambuco State, Brazil, where three species were important vectors of the agents of leishmaniasis in the Amazon region.
