Strange new bacteria found in Amazon sand flies. Could it spread to humans?

Scientists have discovered a strange new bacterium living inside Amazon sand flies, raising questions about its potential impact on human health. While sand flies are already known for transmitting diseases like leishmaniasis, this unexpected bacterial species could alter disease dynamics or even pose new health risks. Researchers are now investigating whether the bacterium can infect humans directly or influence existing pathogens. This finding highlights the importance of monitoring emerging microbes in vector species and understanding their role in global health.
