Phlebotomine sand flies appear to be involved in the epizootiology of 10 of the 16 currently recognized vesiculoviruses. Evidence in support of this includes isolation of viruses from wild-caught male and female sand flies; demonstration of oral infection, replication, and bite transmission of viruses by sand flies; the temporal and/or spatial association between infected sand flies and infected vertebrates; and demonstration of transovarial virus transmission. The present review summarizes the known sand fly-vesiculovirus relationships.
白蛉似乎与目前已确认的16种水疱性病毒中的10种的动物流行病学有关。支持这一观点的证据包括从野外捕获的雌雄白蛉中分离出病毒；证明白蛉可经口感染、复制病毒并通过叮咬传播病毒；受感染的白蛉与受感染的脊椎动物之间的时间和/或空间关联；以及证明病毒可经卵传播。本综述总结了已知的白蛉与水疱性病毒的关系。
