Leishmaniasis In The Sudan Republic. 23. Sandflies (Phlebotomus) Attracted To Rodent-Baited Traps (Diptera: Psychodidae)1

Eugene R. Turner, Harry Hoogstraal

Abstract

Large numbers of Phlebotomus rodhaini and P. heischi females were attracted to and fed on four species of forest-inhabiting rodents caged inside of specially designed sandfly traps placed in Gabek Forest, Upper Nile Province, Sudan. Few females of other Phlebotomus species were taken. Experimental modifications of these traps are recommended especially in order to detrmine the true relationship between rodents and P. langeroni orientalis, the vector of leishmaniasis in this area.
