Colonization of Phlebotomus neglectus Tonnoir, the major vector of visceral leishmaniasis, in Greece is reported for the first time. Starting with wild-caught specimens, a small closed colony was established that was maintained for 17 mo or 10 generations. Gonotrophic discordance, stenogamic mating behavior, low fecundity, and dormancy because of low temperature were the most important findings that characterized the colony.
首次报道了希腊内脏利什曼病主要传播媒介忽视白蛉（Phlebotomus neglectus Tonnoir）的定殖情况。从野外捕获的标本开始，建立了一个小型封闭群体，该群体维持了17个月或10代。生殖营养不协调、近亲交配行为、低繁殖力以及因低温导致的休眠是该群体的最重要特征。
