Abstract

Visceral Leishmaniosis cases (Kala-Azar) have been increased in borderline of Iran and Republic of Azerbaijan in recent years. There were no practical information on the causes and VECTORs or this disease in the region. This study was designated in order to focus on various aspects or the VECTORs including; fauna, seasonal activity, host preference, collecting methods as well as infection of the VECTORs with the parasite.Using sticky traps, CDC light traps and direct collections, it was found that the following species are present in the region: Ph. perfiliewi, Ph. sergenti, Ph. papatasi, Ph. tobbi, Ph. major, Ph. halepnsis, Ph. alexandri, Ph. balcanicus, Ph. longidactus, Ph. kandelakaii, Ph. ansarii, Ph. brevis and Ph. wenyoni. The above mentioned sandflies systematically belong to the genus of phlebotomus. Four species including Sergentomyia powloskyi, S. dentata, S. sintoni and S. squamipleuris have been added to the fauna which are categorized in Sergentomyia genus. It was found that the light trap is more efficient than the sticky traps for the female adult collection. The field results exhibited that Ph. perfiliewi is a dominant VECTOR in the area. They are active from Mid-June to Late-September and their peak of activity occurs in August.Anthropophilicity and zoophilicity indices employing ELIZA test revealed that 24.07% were positive with the human and only 4.7% with the dog anticerum, indicating the human blood preference of the main VECTOR. Dissection of 51 specimens of semi and blood-feed Ph. perfiliewi resulted in no infection with the parasite.
