Females of a laboratory colony of Phlebotomus papatasi from Kabul were fed through a membrane on a high dose of amastigotes of Leishmania tropica from the same place. Less than one-third of the flies became infected and only 6% developed heavy infections of the stomodaeal valve. From these observations, and previous studies by other workers, it is concluded that P. papatasi probably plays little or no part in the transmission of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Kabul. As in Saudi Arabia and Morocco, the most likely vector in Afghanistan is P. sergenti.
来自喀布尔的巴氏白蛉实验室群体的雌性通过膜饲以来自同一地点的高剂量热带利什曼原虫无鞭毛体。不到三分之一的苍蝇被感染，只有6%的苍蝇在口道瓣膜处出现重度感染。根据这些观察结果以及其他研究人员先前的研究，可以得出结论，巴氏白蛉在喀布尔的人源性皮肤利什曼病传播中可能作用很小或不起作用。与沙特阿拉伯和摩洛哥一样，阿富汗最有可能的传播媒介是塞尔吉白蛉。
