Sequential blood meals augment vector infectiousness by promoting Leishmania replication and triggering amplification of metacyclics via a novel retroleptomonad developmental stage
Sand flies, similar to most vectors, take multiple blood meals during their lifetime(1-4). The effect of subsequent blood meals on pathogens developing in the vector, and their impact on disease transmission have never been examined. Here, we show that ingestion of a second uninfected blood meal by...
