Abstract
In 1958, attempts were made to transmit Leishmania donovani (Leveran &
Mensnil) from dog to dog by the bite of Lutzomya longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva)
in the State of Ceará, Brazil.
Two young, healthy dogs (2-3 months old) were bitten by 31 laboratory
reared sanflies fed previously on infected dogs; nine of the sandflies were later
found to be infected with L. donovani, but none of the healthy dogs on which
they fed became infected
