A closed Lutzomyia longipalpis colony, from Ceará has been used to transmit Leishmania chagasi isolated from a fox in Pará state. The last time this colony was successfully used in similar transmission experiments was eight years (64 generations) ago indicating that this colony of Lu. longipalpis has fully maintained its vectorial capacity in spite of such a long period of maintainance in the laboratory.
一个来自塞阿拉州的封闭的长须罗蛉种群,已被用于传播从帕拉州一只狐狸身上分离出的恰加斯利什曼原虫。该种群上次成功用于类似传播实验是在八年前(64代之前),这表明尽管在实验室中维持了如此长的时间,这个长须罗蛉种群仍完全保持了其传播能力。
