Abstract:
Background:
Ecological study of sandflies with emphasize on fauna,
habitats and seasonal distribution are very important to
determine different tools in campaign against Cutaneous
Leishmaniasis. Until now, ecological study of sandflies
have not been carried out in the study area, so the
findings of the present study can introduce tools to
campaign against the disease.
Materials and methods:
Sticky traps were used to collect sand flies from 6
villages of Khorramabad district in west of Iran from
May to November 2010. Each month 120 sticky traps were
used to collect sand flies from human and animal
dwellings, outdoor shelters (mountain), Rodent nests,
outdoor walls and warehouses. All collected specimens
were kept in 70% ethanol and were sent to Medical
Entomology Department, Tehran University of Medical
Sciences for species identification.
Results:
In total 3692 sandflies (1861 female, 1831male) were
captured that 1729 were identified as Phlebotomus
(1013 male and 716 female) and 1936 were identified as
Sergentomyia (818 male and 1145 female). P.
Papatasi and
S.
dentata were
the dominant species from phlebotomous genus
(68.3%) and Sergentomyia genus (93.2%) in the
area. The minimum and maximum prevalence of sandflies in
order belonged to May and August during the field
studies. The most species diversity in two genus were
belonged to mountain and outdoor walls. The most
prevalence of phlebotomus Genus were catched from
human dwellings.
Conclusion:
The results of the present study showed that fauna of
sandflies in the study area approximately is similar to
the other parts of the country and the seasonal and
monthly activities of sandflies are dependent to climate
in the area.
