Immunity to Lutzomyia intermedia saliva modulates the inflammatory environment induced by Leishmania braziliensis.
BACKGROUND: During blood feeding, sand flies inject Leishmania parasites in the presence of saliva. The types and functions of cells present at the first host-parasite contact are critical to the outcome on infection and sand fly saliva has been shown to play an important role in this setting. Herei...
