| Abstract: | Overall, 37 of 79 water wells in 3 diverse geographic areas of Greece were found to harbor sand flies. The predominant species were Phlebotomus tobbi Adler, Theodor & Lourie and P. neglectus Tonnoir, species implicated in the transmission of Leishmania infantum Nicolle. Three additional species of Phlebotomus and 2 Sergentomyia spp. also were encountered. Wells appear to be resting and possibly breeding habitat for sand flies in Greece. |
