Caloric Determinations of Phlebotomine Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988
Adults of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Phlebotomus papatasi were analyzed to quantify available energy reserves and to determine the prevalence of fructose-positive specimens. In both species, males and females with access to fructose or sucrose solutions in the laboratory had more energy reserves available ($\bar x$ ≤ 1.3 cal per insect) than individuals

Sand-flies and Chinese Kala-azar

Nature, 1927
UP to the present there have been no records of any infection being produced from Phlebotomus fed on cases of kala-azar, therefore the results of the following experiment may be of interest, since they show that the flagellates which develop in the midgut of sand-flies are capable of producing the infection when they enter a susceptible host.

Bionomy: Biology of Neotropical Phlebotomine Sand Flies

2018
Phlebotomine sand flies are included in the order Diptera, a small insect measuring 2 to 3 mm with intense pilosity over its body. Like most Diptera, phlebotomine sand flies are holometabolous (i.e., they present in their life cycle an egg phase; a larval phase that includes four sub-stages; a pupal phase; and, finally, the adult stage).

Phlebotomine Sand Flies: Biology and Control

2002
Of approximately 800 species or subspecies of phlebotomine sand flies, 80 are proven or probable vectors of the 22 species of Leishmania that cause human disease (Tables 1 and 2). In some foci of leishmaniasis, the vectors are unknown and it is certain that more species will be added to the list.
