Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Ethiopia
Phlebotomine sandflies have a long history of association with humans, which makes them the only proven natural vectors of Leishmania species, the parasitic protozoans that cause leishmaniases in humans and animals. In Ethiopia, the three forms of leishmaniases, viz., visceral, dermal and mucocutaneous are endemic in different parts of the country ...

Increasing the digital repository of DNA barcoding sequences of sand flies (Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) [PDF]
Sand f ly identification is complex because it depends on the expertise of the taxonomist. The females show subtle morphological differences and the occurrence of the species complexes are usual in this taxon.

Control of phlebotomine (Diptera: Psychodidae) leishmaniasis vectors [PDF]
Phlebotomines are of medical and veterinary concern as they vector leishmaniasis, bartonellosis and some arboviruses. The adaptations of some species to places modified by humans bring these vectors into contact with dwellings, which can facilitate disease transmission, and the vector control strategies adopted have rendered controversial results ...
