- In a study conducted in the Amazon region of Peru, researchers collected sand flies to investigate the presence of Leishmania and Bartonella DNA, using various trapping methods.
- The study found that UV and Blue LED traps were the most effective at collecting sand flies, with specific species of Leishmania and Bartonella identified through genetic sequencing techniques.
- This research is significant as it reports the first instances of L. naiffi and specific Bartonella genotypes in sand fly species in the Peruvian Amazon, contributing to a better understanding of disease vectors in the area.
