Abstract

Introduction: Sand flies are insects from the order of diptera that transmit a variety of diseases, such as all type of leishmaniasis, SAND FLY fever and bartonellosis. The diseases are transmitted by the infected female sand flies. The knowledge on the ecology of sand flies has an essential role to restrain the CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS (CL). The study was carried out to determine the FAUNA and monthly activity of sand flies at CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS focus in GHANAVAT district of QOM province during 2012.Materials & Methods: The present research was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on sand flies in GHANAVAT district of QOM province during 2012. Sand flies were collected biweekly from indoors and outdoors (rodent burrows) of three villages, using 180 sticky traps from the beginning of May to the end of November of the active season. For species identification, sand flies were identified using the valid keys. Then, their FAUNA and seasonal activity were also determined.Findings: A total of 5940 sand flies (2079 from indoors and 3861 from outdoors) were collected and identified. Seven species, including three species of the genus phlebotomus (Phlebotomus papatasi, P. sergenti, P. caucasicus) and 4 species of the genus Sergentomyia (S. sintoni, S. dentate, S. clydei, S. pawlowski) were identified. The most common sand flies in indoors resting places were P. papatasi (81.6%). Two active peaks of the sand flies were observed in late of May and late of August.Discussion & Conclusion: sand flies peak activity in this area was the early of June and the late of August. P. papatasi was the dominant species in indoors and outdoors areas. It seems this species could be the potential vector for CL in the region under study.
