Leishmania development in sand flies: parasite-vector interactions overview
Anna Dostalova,Petr Volf +1 more
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge of molecular interactions occurring in all these distinct phases of parasite colonization of the sand fly gut, highlighting recent discoveries in the field are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment and Maintenance of Sand Fly Colonies
Petr Volf,Věra Volfová +1 more
TL;DR: The experience with establishment and maintenance of sand fly colonies and their use for infective experiments are summarized: techniques for collection and handling wild-caught females, rearing larvae and adults and experimental infections of sand flies by Leishmania using membrane feeding.

TL;DR: Despite annual variations, multiple collections performed over consecutive years provided homogeneous patterns of the potential behavior of leishmaniasis vectors in selected sites, which it is proposed may represent sentinel areas for future monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis in northern Israel.
Raymond L. Jacobson,Carol L. Eisenberger,Milena Svobodová,Gad Baneth,Julia Sztern,Jorge Carvalho,Abedelmajeed Nasereddin,Mustafa El Fari,Uri Shalom,Petr Volf,Jan Votypka,Jean-Pierre Dedet,Francine Pratlong,Gabriele Schonian,Lionel F. Schnur,Charles L. Jaffe,Alon Warburg +16 more
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
Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum transmitted by Phlebotomus tobbi.
Milena Svobodová,Bulent Alten,Lenka Zídková,Vít Dvořák,Jitka Hlavačková,Jitka Myskova,Veronika Seblova,Ozge Erisoz Kasap,Asli Belen,Jan Votýpka,Petr Volf +10 more
TL;DR: Transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania infantum was studied in South Anatolia, Turkey and it is suggested that the transmission cycle could be anthroponotic.
