Salivary gland (SP15) and Leishmania (LeIF) genes expression from field-collected P. papatasi at northeast of Iran. Gene expression profiles were evaluated as fold changes (Y axis, SP15 and LeIF) over the calibrator, using the 2-ΔΔCT method. Expression profiles of P. papatasi collected in June (early in the season), August (middle), and September (late) 2017–2018 are displayed for SP15 (a, b, c), and also for LeIF with different physiological statuses, a) Blood-fed, b) Semi-gravid, c) Gravid. Horizontal bars represent the expression mean values between the samples and each sample represents an individual fly. Circle, triangle and square represent each related bio-climate zones: Mediterranean, Mountainous, and Semi-dessert, respectively
