Abstract

Sand flies play a crucial role as vectors of bacteria, viruses, and protists, with Leishmania being the most notable among them, transmitted to vertebrate hosts during blood feeding. Understanding the feeding behaviours of sand flies is imperative for gaining insights into their eco-epidemiological roles in the transmission of these infectious agents. This systematic review aimed to answer the question 'What are the blood-feeding sources identified in Brazilian sand flies?' to provide an analysis of their blood-feeding habits. The diverse range of at least 16 vertebrate orders identified as blood sources for 54 sand fly species across different geographic regions was summarised, and the factors potentially associated with the risk of bias in the included studies were analysed. The findings broaden the discussion concerning methods used to identify blood meal sources and shed light on the implications of sand fly feeding behaviours for the transmission dynamics of Leishmania.

你吃什么，你就是什么：探索巴西沙蝇与其脊椎动物食物来源之间相互作用的系统综述。

沙蝇是细菌、病毒和原生动物的重要传播媒介，其中利什曼原虫最引人注目，它通过吸血传播给脊椎动物宿主。要想深入了解沙蝇在这些传染源传播过程中的生态流行病学作用，就必须了解沙蝇的取食行为。本系统综述旨在回答 "在巴西沙蝇中发现了哪些吸血源？"这一问题，对它们的吸血习性进行分析。研究总结了不同地理区域 54 种沙蝇的血液来源，其中至少有 16 种脊椎动物被确定为沙蝇的血液来源，并分析了纳入研究中可能与偏倚风险相关的因素。研究结果拓宽了对用于确定血粉来源的方法的讨论，并阐明了沙蝇取食行为对利什曼病传播动态的影响。

期刊介绍： Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz is a journal specialized in microbes & their vectors causing human infections. This means that we accept manuscripts covering multidisciplinary approaches and findings in the basic aspects of infectious diseases, e.g. basic in research in prokariotes, eukaryotes, and/or virus. Articles must clearly show what is the main question to be answered, the hypothesis raised, and the contribution given by the study. Priority is given to manuscripts reporting novel mechanisms and general findings concerning the biology of human infectious prokariotes, eukariotes or virus. Papers reporting innovative methods for diagnostics or that advance the basic research with these infectious agents are also welcome. It is important to mention what we do not publish: veterinary infectious agents research, taxonomic analysis and re-description of species, epidemiological studies or surveys or case reports and data re-analysis. Manuscripts that fall in these cases or that are considered of low priority by the journal editorial board, will be returned to the author(s) for submission to another journal.
