Insights into the sand fly saliva: Blood-feeding and immune interactions between sand flies, hosts, and Leishmania.
Leishmaniases are parasitic diseases present worldwide that are transmitted to the vertebrate host by the bite of an infected sand fly during a blood feeding. Phlebotomine sand flies inoculate into the mammalian host Leishmania parasites embedded in promastigote secretory gel (PSG) with saliva, whic...
