Phlebotomine sandflies are known to transmit leishmaniases, bacteria and viruses that affect humans and animals in many countries worldwide. These sandfly-borne viruses are mainly the Phlebovirus, the Vesiculovirus and the Orbivirus. Some of these viruses are associated with outbreaks or human cases in the Mediterranean Europe. In this paper, the viruses transmitted by Phlebotomine sandflies in Europe (Toscana virus, Sicilian virus, sandfly fever Naples virus) are reviewed and their medical importance, geographical distribution, epidemiology and potential spreading discussed. Data on vertebrate reservoirs is sparse for sandfly fever viruses. The factor currently known to limit the spread of diseases is mainly the distribution areas of potential vectors. The distribution areas of the disease may not be restricted to the areas where they have been recorded but could be as wide as those of their vectors, that is to say Larroussius and P. papatasi mainly but not exclusively. Consequently, field work in form of viral isolation from sandflies and possible reservoirs as well as laboratory work to establish vectorial competence of colonised sandflies need to be encouraged in a near future, and epidemiological surveillance should be undertaken throughout the European Union.
白蛉传播的病毒主要有 Phlebovirus、Vesiculovirus 和 Orbivirus。其中一些病毒与地中海欧洲的疫情爆发或人类病例有关。本文回顾了欧洲白蛉传播的病毒（托斯卡纳病毒、西西里病毒、那不勒斯沙蝇热病毒），讨论了它们的医学重要性、地理分布、流行病学和潜在传播。关于沙蝇热病毒的脊椎动物宿主的数据很少。目前已知限制疾病传播的因素主要是潜在传播媒介的分布范围。疾病的分布范围可能不仅限于已记录的地区，而可能与它们的媒介一样广泛，即 Larroussius 和 P. papatasi 主要但并非完全如此。因此，未来需要鼓励通过从白蛉和可能的宿主中分离病毒以及实验室工作来确定定殖白蛉的媒介能力，并在整个欧盟进行流行病学监测。
