A study on host preference of P. argentipes in two different biotopes was conducted by capturing the flies from cowsheds and human dwellings. The human blood index of P. argentipes collected from cowsheds was 21.5% and 69.6% when collected from human dwellings; this indicates that host preference of P. argentipes varies widely in different biotopes.
