Turkey. Pakistan, and Syria. Three morphotypes were identified as A, B and C, with some intermediate forms in the samples under investigation. Based on the number of setae and the width of basal lobe of coxite, differences between A and B morphotypes were highly significant. Excluding one unusual haplotype, sequence analysis of similar to 439 by of mtDNA (a fragment of cytochromeB gene, tRNA for serine gene, and a fragment of NADH1 gene) revealed a 6-7\% genetic distance within the Iranian populations and among the specimens of other countries. Neighbor-Joining (NJ) analysis confirmed the existence of three main groups within our samples. Although there was no consistency between morphotypes and genotypes, but an interrelationship was found between morphometry and morphotypes. Morphotype A, which was considered as P. sergenti sergenti, was the most prevalent in collection sites. Morphotype B, which was identified as Phlebotomus sergenti similis, is the first record of this subspecies in Iran, and was found to be sympatric with other morphotypes. Morphotype C had an elongated style in comparison with P. sergenti sergenti. Molecular database showed three main genetic structures. This is the first combined morphological and molecular studies on P sergenti s.l. in Iran. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

(Paraphlebotomus) similis confirms their specific taxonomic status. Differential characters between these two species are discussed. Males differ by the aspect of the basal process of the coxite which is curved and narrow in the first species whereas straight and thick for the latter The P. similis process is bigger and tuffer and its style is longer than those of P. sergenti. Females differ by the morphology of the armature of the pharynx and by the number of rings of the spermatheca.Distribution areas of these species are described. P. similis is a North-Eastern Mediterranean species (from Yugoslavia to western Turkey and Azerbaidjan). Fl sergenti is present from Canary Islands (Spain) to India. From these data, the settlement of Paraphlebotomus in the Mediterranean basin may have occurred during the Miocene age. From an Asiatic common ancestor two migration routes are proposed. One, north of the Paratethys Sea, may be responsible for the isolation of P. similis. The other south of the Paratethys and Tethys Seas, may have contributed to the individualisation of P. sergenti.

Samples also included three other species belonging to the subgenus Phlebotomus: P. duboscqi, a proven vector of L major in the south of Sahara (three populations from Burkina Faso, Kenya and Senegal), P. bergeroti, a suspected vector of L. major (three populations from Oman Sultanate, Iran and Egypt), and one population of P. salehi from Iran. A phylogenetic study was carried out on the subgenus Phlebotomus. Our results confirm the validity of the morphologically characterized taxa. The position of P. salehi is doubtful. Variability in P. papatasi contrasts with that observed within other species having a wide distribution like P. (Paraphlebotomus) sergenti in the Old World or Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) longipalpis in the New World. Consequently, it could be hypothesized that all populations of P. papatasi over its distribution area have similar vectorial capacities. The limits of the distribution area of L major are correlated with the distribution of common rodents acting as hosts of the parasites. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequences of 12 populations from 10 countries (Cyprus, Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, Portugal, Spain, Syria, and Turkey) were compared. Samples also included three species closely related to P. sergenti: Phlebotomus similis (three populations from Greece and Malta), Phlebotomus jacusieli and Phlebotomus kazeruni. Our results confirm the validity of the taxa morphologically characterised, and imply the revision of their distribution areas, which are explained through biogeographical events. At the Miocene time, a migration route, north of the Paratethys sea would have been followed by P. similis to colonise the north of the Caucasus, Crimea, Balkans including Greece and its islands, and western Turkey. Phlebotomus sergenti would have followed an Asiatic dispersion as well as a western migration route south of the Tethys sea to colonise North Africa and western Europe. This hypothesis seems to be well supported by high degree of variation observed in the present study, which is not related to colonisation or to intra-populational variation. Two groups can be individualised, one oriental and one western in connection with ecology, host preferences and distribution of L. tropica. We hypothesise that they could be correlated with differences in vectorial capacities. (C) 2002 Australian Society for Parasitology Inc. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
