and are distributed in the old-world regions and transmit leishmaniases through mammalian and reptile hosts. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is one of the most important diseases in Iran. Iranian sand flies belong to three Oriental, Palearctic, and Afrotropical Regions. Fars Province is located in Palearctic, but southern parts are affected Oriental region situations on phglebotomine population variety. Therefore, a comprehensive study was required on the vectors of the disease in this Province.
Regarding the approved role of the environmental factors in creating the fauna and distribution of living creatures, the "de martonne climate method" was used, and the climate was noticed as an important environmental factor for the determination of vector distribution. Accordingly, 14 sampling sites were selected from 10 foci in different climates of Fars Province. 19648 sand flies were collected from the studied areas in this Province during 2016.
and were the most frequent species, which were caught from in/outdoor areas. and were caught from both Palearctic and Oriental zones but were more prevalent in the cold semi-arid climate of the Palearctic zone. Moreover, they were not caught from the hot desert and summer Mediterranean climates of the Oriental zone.
It seems that as the main vector of CL could be well distributed in different climates in Fars. Moreover, some species like preferred especial climates in the Palearctic zone. Therefore, these data could be helpful to control leishmaniases more efficiently.
[两种沙蝇属名称未给出]分布于东半球地区，并通过哺乳动物和爬行动物宿主传播利什曼病。皮肤利什曼病（CL）是伊朗最重要的疾病之一。伊朗的白蛉属于东洋界、古北界和热带界三个界。法尔斯省位于古北界，但南部受东洋界白蛉种群多样性情况的影响。因此，需要对该省这种疾病的传播媒介进行全面研究。
鉴于环境因素在生物区系形成和生物分布方面的公认作用，采用了“德马东气候法”，并将气候视为决定传播媒介分布的重要环境因素。据此，从法尔斯省不同气候的10个疫源地中选择了14个采样点。2016年期间从该省的研究区域采集了19648只白蛉。
[两种沙蝇属名称未给出]是最常见的种类，在室内外区域均有捕获。[两种沙蝇属名称未给出]在古北界和东洋界均有捕获，但在古北界寒冷半干旱气候中更为普遍。此外，在东洋界的炎热沙漠和夏季地中海气候中未捕获到它们。
似乎[沙蝇属名称未给出]作为CL的主要传播媒介能够很好地分布在法尔斯省的不同气候中。此外，一些种类如[沙蝇属名称未给出]在古北界更喜欢特定的气候。因此，这些数据可能有助于更有效地控制利什曼病。
