Fig. 6From: Lipophosphoglycan polymorphisms do not affect Leishmania amazonensis development in the permissive vectors Lutzomyia migonei and Lutzomyia longipalpis Experimental infections of Le. amazonensis (PH8 and Josefa strains) in Lu. longipalpis (L. lon.), Lu. migonei (L. mig.) and Ph. papatasi (P. pap.). Rates and intensities of infections were evaluated microscopically on days 1 and 5–6 post-infection (PI), and were classified into three categories: light (< 100 parasites/gut), moderate (100–1000 parasites/gut), or heavy (> 1000 parasites/gut). Data are representative of two experimentsBack to article page
