In a survey of Leishmania infections in phlebotomine sandflies in visceral leishmaniasis focus at Aba Roba, Segen Valley, southern Ethiopia, Phlebotomus duboscqi was found naturally infected with L. major (zymodeme MON-74). This is the first isolation of L. major from a vector sandfly in Ethiopia, from an area where human and/or rodent infections with L. major are, so far, unknown.
在埃塞俄比亚南部塞根山谷阿巴罗巴内脏利什曼病疫源地对吸血白蛉中的利什曼原虫感染情况进行的一项调查中，发现杜氏白蛉自然感染了硕大利什曼原虫（酶谱型MON - 74）。这是在埃塞俄比亚首次从媒介白蛉中分离出硕大利什曼原虫，该地区迄今尚无人类和/或啮齿动物感染硕大利什曼原虫的情况。
