Lesions in C. porcellus infected by L. enriettii strains in the presence/absence of salivary gland extract (SGE) from Lutzomyia longipalpis. Male C. porcellus were inoculated with 1x105 parasites of L. enriettii strains (L88 and Cobaia). (A) non-infected C. porcellus; (B) C. porcellus infected with L88 strain (4 weeks of infection); (C) C. porcellus infected with L88 strain (5 weeks infection); (D) C. porcellus infected with L88 strain + SGE (7 weeks of infection); (E) C. porcellus infected with L88 strain (8 weeks of infection) and (F) C. porcellus infected with Cobaia strain (4 weeks of infection).
