Phlebotomus argentipes is a predominant vector of Leishmania donovani, the protozoan parasite causing visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent. In hosts bitten by P. argentipes, sand fly saliva elicits the production of specific anti-salivary protein antibodies. Here, we have utilised these...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Phlebotomus argentipes is the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Bangladesh and is controlled using deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, through indoor residual spraying (IRS). A mutation at L1014 (leucine at codon 1014) of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC), kno...

The emergence of pyrethroid resistance in Phlebotomus sandflies is an urgent issue for vector control using indoor residual spraying (IRS). Two amino acid substitutions at codon 1014 (L1014F and L1014S) in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene have been reported in Phlebotomus argentipes, a m...
