RNAi-mediated gene silencing of Phlebotomus papatasi defensins favors Leishmania major infection
Introduction: Production of different antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is one of the insect’s prominent defense strategies, regulated mainly by Toll and immune deficiency (IMD) humoral pathways. Here we focused mainly on two AMPs of Phlebotomus papatasi, vector of Leishmania major parasites, their asso...
