[An experimental study of the interrelations of Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) gymnodactyli and the sandfly Sergentomyia arpaklensis (Diptera: Phlebotominae)].
Morphology, development and behaviour of Leishmania gymnodactyli in the sand fly Sergentomyia arpaklensis at different stages of blood digestion have been studied. It has been shown that leishmaniae reproduce readily and develop normally inside the food ball of sandflies. The dense peritrophic membrane is not destroyed at the end of digestion and is an insuperable obstacle for leishmaniae. Promastigotes of leishmaniae, being involved in the peritrophic membrane, are excreted together with undigested food that excludes their transmission through the bite of S. arpaklensis.
