Resumen en ingles
Leishmania chagasi causes visceral leishmaniasis and,
to a lesser extent, atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis in
Central and South America. Its main sand fly vector,
Lutzomyia longipalpis s.l. (Diptera: Psychodidae) displays
a complex population structure that might contribute
to the observed clinical pleomorphism and to
recent major urban epidemics. This article summarises
our understanding on reproductive barriers and hybridisation
among this vector’s sibling incipient species.
Identifying genes important for sand fly ecological
adaptability and sand fly–Leishmania genetic covariation
could be helpful for interrupting Leishmania
transmission.
