Fig. 8From: Lipophosphoglycan polymorphisms do not affect Leishmania amazonensis development in the permissive vectors Lutzomyia migonei and Lutzomyia longipalpis Morphological forms (metacyclics, short promastigotes, elongated nectomonads and procyclic promatigotes) of Le. amazonensis (PH8 and Josefa strains) during development in Lu. longipalpis (L. lon.) and Lu. migonei (L. mig.). Morphological forms of Leishmania parasites in vectors were evaluated microscopically on days 1 and 5–6 post-infection (PI). Data are representative of two experiments and were evaluated statistically by analysis of variance. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significantBack to article page
