Being the only established vectors of the protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, sand flies have become very important in all countries where leishmaniasis exists. To better understand the sand fly fauna, a taxonomic inventory study was carried out between January and March 2012 in Soudan savannah (Boundioba, Sikasso) and Sahelian (Tieneguebougou, Koulikoro) areas of Mali. CDC light traps were used to collect the sand flies. Collected sand flies specimens were cleaned with lacto-phenol and examined under a light microscope for species identification. In total, 14 species belonging to the genera Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia were identified. The genus Sergentomyia constituted 98.05% of collected sand flies versus 1.95% for the genus Phlebotomus. The most abundant species were Sergentomyia dubia Parrot, Mornet, & Cadenat, Sergentomyia shwetzi, Sergentomyia clydei Sinton, and Sergentomyia antennata Newstead. In Boundioba, the genus Phlebotomus was represented by two species (Phlebotomus duboscqi Neveu-Lemaire and Phlebotomus rodhaini Parrot), whereas only one species, Ph. duboscqi, was captured in Tieneguebougou. For the first time, three new species, Sergentomyia madagascariensis, Sergentomyia congolensis, and Sergentomyia dureni, were identified in Mali. More investigations are needed for a better entomological assessment of the transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the different eco-climatic zones of Mali.
作为利什曼原虫属原生动物寄生虫唯一已确定的传播媒介，白蛉在所有存在利什曼病的国家都变得非常重要。为了更好地了解白蛉种类，2012年1月至3月在马里的苏丹草原（邦迪奥巴，锡卡索）和萨赫勒地区（蒂内古布古，库利科罗）开展了一项分类清查研究。使用疾控中心灯光诱捕器收集白蛉。收集到的白蛉标本用乳酸酚清洗，并在光学显微镜下检查以进行种类鉴定。总共鉴定出属于白蛉属和司蛉属的14个种类。司蛉属占所收集白蛉的98.05%，而白蛉属占1.95%。最常见的种类是鹦鹉司蛉、施韦茨司蛉、克莱德司蛉和触角司蛉。在邦迪奥巴，白蛉属由两个种类（杜氏白蛉和罗代尼白蛉）代表，而在蒂内古布古只捕获到一个种类，即杜氏白蛉。首次在马里鉴定出三个新种类，即马达加斯加司蛉、刚果司蛉和杜伦司蛉。需要开展更多调查，以便对马里不同生态气候区皮肤利什曼病的传播进行更好的昆虫学评估。
