Life cycle of the Leishmania protozoan parasite. (1) The cycle begins when the sand fly inoculates metacyclic (infective) promastigotes into the vertebrate host during a blood meal, along with the fly’s saliva, midgut microbiota, and extracellular vesicles of the parasite. (2) The promastigotes are phagocytosed by macrophages and other mononuclear cells, transforming into amastigotes. (3) The amastigotes divide and infect other cells. (4) The sand fly, during a subsequent blood meal, ingests the infected cells. (5) In the midgut of the sand fly, the amastigotes transform into promastigotes. (6) The promastigotes differentiate into metacyclic forms and colonise the stomodeal valve. Created in BioRender. Cosma, C. (2024). https://biorender.com/l08n361.
