[Leish-l] hot spots

Dear Isra and Carlos
The nearest relative of the macropod
Leishmania is L enriettii.The natural
reservoir and vector of L enriettii
remain a mystery. Might it be possible
that the vector is a midge? Is this a
topic that a South American Lab could
take up with the researchers in Darwin,
Australia? The topic is of fundamental
biological importance, but is not seen
as an Australian priority, so the
Darwin research group is having
difficulty in getting funding to
continue their work. Could an
international approach help to move
things forward?
