Background Dogs are the primary reservoir for human visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum . Phlebotomine sand flies maintain zoonotic transmission of parasites between dogs and humans. A subset is infected transplacentally during gestation, but at what stage clinical spectrum vertically contribute fly pool unknown. Methodology/Principal findings We examined infectiousness with L from multiple states vector Lutzomyia longipalpis using xenodiagnosis found that were infectious...
Enteroinvasive bacterial pathogens are responsible for an enormous worldwide disease burden that critically affects the young and immunocompromised. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-negative enteric pathogen, closely related to plague agent Y. pestis, colonizes intestinal tissues, induces formation of pyogranulomas along tract, disseminates systemic organs following oral infection experimental rodents. Prior studies proposed tissues were colonized by pool replicating bacteria distinct...
