Several characteristics of dispersing and non-dispersing Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) were quantified and compared. The majority of dispersing sandflies, trapped crossing fallow fields, were females (68.5% v. 51.1%); of the dispersing females, 55.4% were parous, 48.1% were inseminated and 11.6% were gravid. In the population of sandflies sampled exiting from burrows of the sand rat Psammomys obesus Cretschmar, these categories, respectively, represented 39%, 90% and 26% of the females examined. Leishmania promastigotes were found in 9% of females exiting from P. obesus burrows, and in 2.7% of the dispersing females. The anthrone test established that the reason for activity of gravid females is sugar feeding. These females do not disperse and are suitable targets for future control measures.
对分散型和非分散型巴氏白蛉(Scopoli)的几个特征进行了量化和比较。在穿越休耕地时捕获的大多数分散型白蛉为雌性(68.5%对51.1%);在分散型雌性白蛉中,55.4%已产过卵,48.1%已受精,11.6%怀有身孕。在从肥尾沙鼠(Psammomys obesus Cretschmar)洞穴中出来的采样白蛉种群中,这些类别分别占所检查雌性白蛉的39%、90%和26%。在从肥尾沙鼠洞穴出来的9%的雌性白蛉以及2.7%的分散型雌性白蛉中发现了利什曼原鞭毛虫。蒽酮试验表明,怀有身孕的雌性白蛉活动的原因是吸食糖类。这些雌性白蛉不扩散,是未来控制措施的合适目标。
