Vaccination with LiESP/QA-21 (CaniLeish®) reduces the intensity of infection in Phlebotomus perniciosus fed on Leishmania infantum infected dogs—A preliminary xenodiagnosis study

In the present paper it is intended to analyse the results of feeding experiments with Phlebotomus perniciosus on animals infected with various strains of Leishmania infantum carried out during 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1933. In a previous paper (1931) the results of feeding experiments carried out on a Chinese hamster from June 18 to October 22, 1930, were discussed. Only 330 sandflies infected by feeding on a Chinese hamster inoculated with Catania strains of L. infantum were included, and the results obtained appeared fairly uniform but for one point. A large majority of sandflies had an infection in which flagellates described as "long forms" predominated and only a small proportion (5%) were infected with "short forms" Proboscis infections ( i. e ., infections in the epipharynx) were observed mainly among the latter. The "short form infections" were observed from September 20 till the end of the sandfly season in 1930.

ABSTRACTWe studied the development of antimony-resistantLeishmania infantumin natural vectorsLutzomyia longipalpisandPhlebotomus perniciosusto ascertain the risk of parasite transmission by sand flies. All three resistant strains produced fully mature late-stage infections in sand flies; moreover, the resistant phenotype was maintained after the passage through the vector. These results highlight the risk of circulation of resistantLeishmaniastrains and question the use of human drugs for treatment of dogs asLeishmaniareservoirs.
