Image_3_Lutzomyia longipalpis TGF-β Has a Role in Leishmania infantum chagasi Survival in the Vector.JPEG by Tatiana Di-Blasi (4680811)

“…The blockage of the LlTGF-β pathway increased significantly antimicrobial peptides expression and nitric oxide levels in the insect gut, as expected. Both methods led to a decreased L. i. chagasi infection. Our results show that inactivation of the L. longipalpis TGF-β signal transduction pathway reduce L. i. chagasi survival, therefore suggesting that under natural conditions the parasite benefits from the insect LlTGF-β pathway, as already seen in Plamodium infection of mosquitoes.…”
