Four sandfly [correction of mosquito] species were identified in all foci of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Turkmenistan. There is evidence that three of them (Phlebotomus papatasi, P. caucasicus, P. andrejevi) cannot be carriers of VL agent in Turkmenistan. The carrier of Leishmania infantum in Turkmenistan is likely to be the zooanthropophilic sandfly [correction of mosquito] P. turanicus that prevails in the settlements and their vicinities in the desert foothill plains and in the burrows of foxes. The time of the carrier activity is May to September, and its peak size is observed in mid-July. In September, the promastigote infection of P. turanicus is as high as 47.5%. The carrier size may vary with years, the infection of children and dogs ceased with the reduction in the P. turanicus size. There are evidence for the distribution of the carrier in the populated locality, dwelling and natural biotopes.
在土库曼斯坦，在内脏利什曼病（VL）的所有疫源地中鉴定出了四种白蛉[纠正：应为白蛉，非蚊子]。有证据表明，其中三种（巴氏白蛉、高加索白蛉、安德烈耶夫白蛉）在土库曼斯坦不可能是VL病原体的传播媒介。土库曼斯坦婴儿利什曼原虫的传播媒介可能是嗜人血的白蛉[纠正：应为白蛉，非蚊子]图兰白蛉，它在沙漠山麓平原的定居点及其附近以及狐狸洞穴中占主导地位。传播媒介活动时间为5月至9月，其数量峰值出现在7月中旬。9月，图兰白蛉前鞭毛体感染率高达47.5%。传播媒介数量可能随年份变化，随着图兰白蛉数量减少，儿童和犬类感染也停止。有证据表明传播媒介在有人居住地区、住所和自然生物群落中分布。
