Overall, 37 of 79 water wells in 3 diverse geographic areas of Greece were found to harbor sand flies. The predominant species were Phlebotomus tobbi Adler, Theodor & Lourie and P. neglectus Tonnoir, species implicated in the transmission of Leishmania infantum Nicolle. Three additional species of Phlebotomus and 2 Sergentomyia spp. also encountered. Wells appear to be resting and possibly breeding habitat for sand flies in Greece.
总体而言，在希腊3个不同地理区域的79口水井中，有37口被发现有白蛉栖息。主要种类是托比白蛉、阿德勒白蛉、西奥多白蛉和洛里白蛉以及疏忽白蛉，这些种类与婴儿利什曼原虫的传播有关。另外还发现了3种白蛉属物种和2种司蛉属物种。在希腊，水井似乎是白蛉的休息场所，也可能是其繁殖地。
