Development of Leishmania (Sauroleishmania [S.]) adleri and Leishmania (S.) hoogstraali in three sand fly species: Sergentomyia schwetzi, Phlebotomus papatasi and Phlebotomus argentipes. Infection rates were examined on days 1 and 7 post blood meal. The intensities of infections were categorized as heavy (> 1000 parasites/gut), moderate (100–1000 parasites/gut) or weak/light (< 100 parasites/gut). Number of dissected sand flies is indicated above the bars. Abbreviations: ADL L. (S.) adleri; HOOG, L. (S.) hoogstraali; PBM, post blood meal
