Small, nonulcerating lesions prevailed and patients were negative in rK39 tests for antibody detection in human visceral leishmaniasis. The most abundant sand fly species, Phlebotomus tobbi, was found repeatedly positive for promastigotes, Leishmania prevalence in P. tobbi was 1,4% (13 out of 898 dissected females). The isolated strains were identical with those obtained from patients with CL, and were typed as L. infantum. Phylogenetic analysis revealed similarity to MON-188 and clear difference from MON-1 clade. Phlebotomus tobbi belongs to permissive vectors, as revealed by the presence of O-glycoproteins in female midgut. Bloodmeal identification showed that it feeds preferentially on cattle and humans. This finding, together with high number of CL patients and relative scarcity of dogs in the focus, suggests that the transmission cycle could be anthroponotic. In this study, as a meta analysis, we evaluated all the results together with climatic data collected throughout the study<br \/>\nperiod, altitude and also distribution of vector species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum and transmitted by Phlebotomus tobbi: a meta analysis related with climatic data<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[27,28],"class_list":["post-64","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-10_th_march","tag-leishmania","tag-phlebotomus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":97,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions\/97"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstream.tv\/zanzare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
