The diversity and seasonality for sandflies were studied in 2019 at a focus of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Zagora province, southern Morocco. Standardized sampling with CDC light traps was used. A total of 4504 sandflies (4024 and 480 ) was collected during the study period. Seven species belonging to genus and six species of genus were identified. The most abundant species were (33.6%) and (25.7%), highlighting the risk for local disease transmission foci. The seasonal activity of sandflies extended from April to November, showing two peaks, one in June-July and one, less important, in late-September-October. Abundance was highest during the months May, June, and July and lowest in August, September, and October. Results of this study provide important baseline data for planning control interventions.
2019年，在摩洛哥南部扎戈拉省一个人畜共患皮肤利什曼病疫源地，对白蛉的多样性和季节性进行了研究。采用美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）诱虫灯进行标准化采样。在研究期间共捕获4504只白蛉（4024只和480只）。鉴定出属于属的7个物种和属的6个物种。最常见的物种是（33.6%）和（25.7%），突出了当地疾病传播疫源地的风险。白蛉的季节性活动从4月持续到11月，出现两个高峰，一个在6 - 7月，另一个在9月下旬至10月，相对不太明显。5月、6月和7月白蛉数量最多，8月、9月和10月最少。本研究结果为规划控制干预措施提供了重要的基线数据。
