and 41°E. Three basins: North, Central ...
Mechanisms Of Leishmania Uptake And Transmission By Phlebotomine Sand Flies (diptera: Psychodidae
(University of Nairobi, 1995)
Leishmania parasites undergo cyclical development in their vector sand fly through various stages before they can be transmitted by bite. Sand fly saliva aids in blood-feeding by modulating host-immune responses through ...
