Abstract

The island of Corfu is an endemic area of human leishmaniasis, mainly visceral and secondly cutaneous. In August 1996, a survey of phlebotomine sandflies was conducted throughout the whole island. Using castor-oil paper traps, a total of 2,615 sandflies were caught. The following species were identified: 450 (17.21%) Phlebotomus neglectus, 213 (8.15%) P. tobbi, 129 (4.93%) P. perfiliewi, 12 (0.46%) P. sergenti, 11 (0.42%) P. simici, 4 (0.15%) P. papatasi, 999 (38.20%) Sergentomyia minuta and 797 (30.48%) S. dentata. Among the potential vectors of Leishmania spp., P. neglectus, P. tobbi and P. perfiliewi, were the most widespread species on the island. However, a decrease of the population density of sandflies compared to previous entomological studies was observed.

摘要

科孚岛是人类利什曼病的流行地区，主要是内脏型，其次是皮肤型。1996年8月，在全岛范围内对白蛉进行了一次调查。使用蓖麻油纸诱捕器，共捕获2615只白蛉。鉴定出以下种类：450只（17.21%）疏忽白蛉、213只（8.15%）托比白蛉、129只（4.93%）佩氏白蛉、12只（0.46%）塞氏白蛉、11只（0.42%）西米奇白蛉、4只（0.15%）巴氏白蛉、999只（38.20%）微小赛尔金白蛉和797只（30.48%）齿赛尔金白蛉。在利什曼原虫属的潜在传播媒介中，疏忽白蛉、托比白蛉和佩氏白蛉是该岛上分布最广的种类。然而，与之前的昆虫学研究相比，观察到白蛉种群密度有所下降。
