additional information Leishmania mexicana Leishmania chitinase is a multifunctional virulence factor that benefits the parasite throughout its entire life cycle and assists its survival in Lutzomyia longipalpis. Specifically, this enzyme enables the parasites to colonize the anterior midgut of the sand fly more quickly, modify the sand fly stomodeal valve and affect its blood feeding, all of which combine to enhance transmission ?
