In vitro interaction profiles and midgut glycoconjugates of Trichophoromyia spp./Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni
The present study suggests that Trichophoromyia spp. sand flies, particularly Th. brachipyga, are susceptible to L. (V.) lainsoni, based on the observed vector-parasite attachment profiles and detection of GalNAc in their midguts. This supports early field data suggesting the vector status of these sand fly species.
