Table 2. Flow cytometry: numbers of sand flies co-infected with L. donovani (Gebre-1, RFP and LEM 4265, GFP) examined post bloodmeal (PBM).

Sand fly species	Time PBM
	1 day	2 days	3 days	8–9 days*	15–17 days*	Total
P. perniciosus	50	50	100	50	143	393
L. longipalpis	50	100	35	83	0	268

*In contrast to P. perniciosus, shorter longevity of L. longipalpis females does not allow later interval of dissections.
