Description
Aline Rapello and colleagues published a 2024 field study of a parasite's wild cycle in Brazil. The parasite causes leishmaniasis in people and animals. Gallery forests along Cerrado waterways shelter many mammals. Sand flies there may carry the parasite between hosts. The team trapped animals and insects in four forests.
Sampling happened during the dry season. Gene tests screened mammals and female sand flies. About thirteen percent of mammals carried parasite DNA. One forest showed a much higher rate. Three mammal species tested positive. No sand flies tested positive. Quiet wild cycles can persist without obvious insect evidence.
