Effects of larval rearing substrates on some life-table parameters of Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies.

Effects of larval rearing substrates on some life-table parameters of Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies.

Sand flies are the insects responsible for transmitting Leishmania parasites, the causative agents of leishmaniasis in humans. However, the effects of sand fly breeding sites on their biology and ecology remain poorly understood. Herein, we studied how larval nutrition associated with putative breed...
