Preliminary study on the galectin molecular diversity in Moroccoan Phlebotomus papatasi sandfly populations

Context: Galactose binding protein (PpGalec) plays an important role in the specificity of Phlebotomus papatasisandfly for Leishmania major. The molecular diversity of this ligand is currently unknown but might havesome influence on the ability of PpGalec to efficiently recognize L. major in natural...
