Description

Ever wondered how we work with sand flies in the lab?

Check out this video from Iva Kolarova and Jovana Sadlova at Charles University as theu demonstrate the delicate process of directing a sand fly to extract its salivary glands. We collect salivary glands from female sand flies to study if they carry the parasite that causes diseases like leishmaniasis.
