Multi-modal analysis of courtship behaviour in the old world leishmaniasis vector Phlebotomus argentipes (2014)
Journal Article
(2014). Multi-modal analysis of courtship behaviour in the old world leishmaniasis vector Phlebotomus argentipes. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, e3316 -?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0003316

BACKGROUND: The sand fly Phlebotomus argentipes is arguably the most important vector of leishmaniasis worldwide. As there is no vaccine against the parasites that cause leishmaniasis, disease prevention focuses on control of the insect vector. Under...
