LEISHBLOCK focuses on identifying compounds that can inhibit Leishmania parasites in sand flies, the vectors of leishmaniasis. The project seeks to develop transmission-blocking agents that minimize harm to the insects while effectively reducing disease spread.
The main objective of LEISHBLOCK is identifying antileishmanial compounds exhibiting minimal mortality to sand flies for exploitation as potential transmission blocking agents.Sand flies are the vectors responsible for transmitting Leishmania parasites, the causative agents of a range of disfiguring to lethal diseases known as leishmaniasis, affecting populations worldwide.Currently, with no human vaccines, disease control relies on reducing contact with the vector and chemotherapy.
