Vector microbiota and parasite infection: bacteria-mediated effects on <i>Leishmania</i> in <i>Phlebotomus papatasi</i> and culture
The observed effect of bacteria on <i>Leishmania</i> under <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> conditions points out toward the potentially greater role of microbes in <i>Leishmania</i> survival in vectors, highlighting the need for deeper investigations of sandfly-<i>Leishmania</i>-microbiota interactions.
