Abstract

Introduction: VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS (kalaazar) is endemic in Iranian provinces of Fars, East Azarbyjan , and Ardebil . Ahar, a district of East Azarbyjan, is another endemic foci of this disease; thus, considering the fact that fulfilling a faunestic study of SAND-FLIES is regarded be the first step to identify the vector species of such a disease, we decided to carry out our research in the mentioned area.Matrials & Methods: The researchers collected SAND-FLIES using sticky trap in six villages of Iranian Province of Eastern Azarbayjan infected with VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS during May, June, and July 2002. The trapped SAND-FLIES were then washed using Aceton and preserved in 70% Eithelic Alcohol. All the samples were, afterward, categorized into specific species using reliable keys.Findings: Of all the 1405 collected sandflies, 19 species were identified as follows: 16 species of phlebotomus, and 3 species of sergentomyia. The species p.kandelakii, p. paptasi , p. perfiliewi , p. sergenti, p.anderjevi with atotal number of 1171 ones covered 83% of the total number of trapped SAND-FLIES .The species of P.caucasicus P.alexandri, P.mongolensis , P.halpensis , P.jacusieli , P. longiductus , P.balcanicus , P.major P. tobbi, P. ansarii, P. bergeroti , S.dentata , S.sintoni , S.pawlowskyi covered totally 234 ones equal to 17% of all the collected sandflies.Discussion & Conclusion: It is concluded that, considering the much limited coverage of the searched area, the species variety seems to be very interesting and attention worthy. It also indicates that more species and even new species can be found by carrying out more comprehensive studies in future. The P. anderjevi specie with frequency of 11%, being reported for the first time, showed the highest prevalence in west northern Iran.
