Cover Story: Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) tarentolae is the most studied Sauroleishmania species, yet some basic aspects of its life cycle remain unclear. We demonstrated the ability of L. (S.) tarentolae to infect three Phlebotomus species, in which Sauroleishmania underwent a peripylarian type of development. Interestingly, heavy parasite loads were frequently found in Malpighian tubules, suggesting this tissue is a typical location for L. (S.) tarentolae but unique among Leishmania parasites. We propose more attention should be addressed to Phlebotomus sand flies as potential secondary vectors of Sauroleishmania. View this paper

Leishmania and the Model of Predominant Clonal Evolution

  • Michel Tibayrenc and
  • Francisco J. Ayala

As it is the case for other pathogenic microorganisms, the respective impact of clonality and genetic exchange on Leishmania natural populations has been the object of lively debates since the early 1980s. The predominant clonal evolution (PCE) model...
