Binding of Leishmania infantum LPG to the midgut is not sufficient to define vector competence in Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies

I. V. Coutinho-Abreu, J. Oristian, W. de Castro, T. R. Wilson, C. Meneses, R. P. Soares, V. M. Borges, A. Descoteaux, S. Kamhawi, J. Valenzuela

This study shows that Leishmania infantum LPG is not necessary for midgut retention in permissive sand flies but protects certain strains from blood digestion toxins.

A burst of genetic innovation in actin-related proteins (Arps) for testis-specific function in a Drosophila lineage

C. M. Schroeder, J. Valenzuela, G. M. Hocky, H. S. Malik

The paper identifies four lineage-specific Arp gene duplications in Drosophila obscura group, showing positive selection and male germline expression, with Arp2D potentially enhancing Arp2 function in sperm development.
