Development of L. major (LV561) and L. infantum (CUK3) in Phlebotomus tobbi. Rates and intensities of infections in P. tobbi females examined 2 and 7–9 days PBM (post-bloodmeal) using light microscopy. The infection intensities were classified into three categories according to their intensity: heavy (more than 1000 parasites per gut [black]); moderate (500–1000 parasites [grey]) and light (less than 500 parasites [white]). Numbers above the bars indicate the total number of dissected sand fly females. Data are summarised from eight independent experiments with L. major (LV561) and fourteen experiments with L. infantum/donovani (CUK3)
