Kinetics of Anti-Phlebotomus perniciosus Saliva Antibodies in Experimentally Bitten Mice and Rabbits
BACKGROUND Sand flies are hematophagous arthropods that act as vectors of Leishmania parasites. When hosts are bitten they develop cellular and humoral responses against sand fly saliva. A positive correlation has been observed between the number of bites and antibody levels indicating that anti-saliva antibody response can be used as marker of exposure to sand flies. Little is known about kine...
متن کاملKinetics of Antibody Response in BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice Bitten by Phlebotomus papatasi
BACKGROUND Phlebotomine sand flies are blood-sucking insects transmitting Leishmania parasites. In bitten hosts, sand fly saliva elicits specific immune response and the humoral immunity was shown to reflect the intensity of sand fly exposure. Thus, anti-saliva antibodies were suggested as the potential risk marker of Leishmania transmission. In this study, we examined the long-term kinetics an...
متن کاملRecombinant Antigens from Phlebotomus perniciosus Saliva as Markers of Canine Exposure to Visceral Leishmaniases Vector
BACKGROUND Phlebotomus perniciosus is the main vector in the western Mediterranean area of the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of canine and human visceral leishmaniases. Infected dogs serve as a reservoir of the disease, and therefore measuring the exposure of dogs to sand fly bites is important for estimating the risk of L. infantum transmission. In bitten hosts, s...
متن کاملAnti-mycobacterial antibodies in saliva.
Modified techniques for the fluorescent leprosy antibody absorption (FLA-ABS) test and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using phenolic glycolipid-l (PG) antigen of M. leprae were employed for detecting anti-M. /eprae antibodies in sera and saliva from the patients with leprosy , household contacts and inhabitants in leprosy endemic areas . The FLA-ABS test with saliva was positive ...
متن کاملPresence of Phlebotomus perniciosus Atypical Form in Algeria
BACKGROUND Phlebotomus perniciosus and Phlebotomus longicuspis are two phlebotomine sand fly species morphologically similar and differing in males only by the shape of the copulatory valves which are bifurcated in P. perniciosus, tip long and tapered in P. longicuspis. METHODS A count of the median coxite setae was carried out on 208 specimens from the collections of Dedet and of Parrot, ide...
