The susceptibility of wild caught sand flies to infection by a subspecies of Leishmania mexicana isolated from proechimys iheringi denigratus (Rodentia, echimyidae)

| description | Several species of wild caught sand flies were collected in the same site where a subspecies of leishmania mexicana was isolated from the rodent Proechimys iheringi denigratus. The absence of natural infection in these sand flies permitted us to test, with relative assurance, the susceptibility of wild caught females to infection by this parasite. the success obtained in these experimental infections suggest that one or more of the sand fly species encountered in high numbers in the same site where the infected rodents were captured may be the vector(s) of this subspecies of l. mexicana.<br>Várias espécies de flebotomíneos silvestres foram coletados no mesmo local onde o roedor Proechimys iheringi denigratus foi encontrado infectado com uma subespécie de Leishmania mexicana. A ausência de infecção natural desses flebotomíneos nos permitiu testar, com relativa segurança, a susceptibilidade de algumas dessas espécies à infecção por esse parasito. O sucesso obtido nas infecções experimentais sugere que uma ou mais das espécies de flebotomíneos encontradas em alta densidade nesse local podem ser um vetor, em potencial, dessa subespécie de L. mexicana. |
