DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2020.105540
Abstract: Earlier research has shown that in vivo immunization with sand fly saliva protects the host against infection by parasites of genus Leishmania, and inoculation of saliva along with Leishmania promastigotes favors infection in the host.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2022.106406
Abstract: Sand flies are the primary vectors of leishmaniasis. Disease management with effective vector control depends on the knowledge of vector population dynamics. In Sri Lanka, despite few isolated entomological collections, long-term studies are not reported… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d0sc03298k
Abstract: Direct glycan–glycan interactions are increasingly implicated in survival and pathogenicity of bacteria. Here, we show that they can be exploited by protozoan parasites in their insect hosts. Force spectroscopy revealed that Leishmania promastigotes display a… read more here.
