“…A comparison of the net reproductive rate (Ro=1.67 daughter females per cohort female) obtained in this study with that shown for other species such as Lutzomyia shannoni (Ro=23.5) or Lutzomyia spinicrassa (Ro=8.4) (Escovar et al 2004), indicates that the population increase of P. similis under laboratory conditions is very low, and consequently, the establishment and maintenance of a laboratory colony is very slow and complicated. However, despite all difficulties during laboratory colonization of P. similis, the presented results show that this species can still be successfully colonised, which will facilitate studies on its vectorial capacity for Leishmania.…”

Phlebotomus similis is a relatively poorly understood sand fly species. This paper presents the results of the first successful laboratory colonization of P. similis. Some bionomic factors collected on the life history, behaviour, feeding preferences, and characteristics of developmental biology of this species are described. Furthermore, the parameters of the dynamics and the life history of this species under laboratory conditions were quantified. These results will facilitate further studies necessary for understanding its potential role as a vector of leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean.

“…A comparison of the net reproductive rate (Ro=2.105 daughter females per cohort female) obtained in this study and data on other species such as L. shannnoni (Ro=23.5), or L. spinicrassa (Ro=8.4) (Escovar et al, 2004), suggests that the population increase of P. neglectus under laboratory conditions is low, and consequently the maintenance of a laboratory colony of this species is difficult. However, the observed low reproductive rate of P. neglectus may, at least in part be due to the keeping of the colony in total 24 h darkness.…”

Laboratory investigations of the biology of the sand fly, Phlebotomus neglectus, including bionomic factors collected on the life history, behavior and feeding preferences of this species and the characteristics of its developmental biology are presented. In addition, we quantified the parameters of the population dynamics and life history of this species under laboratory conditions which are crucial for a better understanding of its role as a vector of Leishmania parasites in the eastern Mediterranean area

“…They can help determine the most vulnerable stage in which the vector population is less able to face environmental stress and control measures [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. The study of these characteristics has been relevant not only in mosquitoes [ 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ] but also in other insects of medical importance, such as blood-feeding bugs [ 27 , 28 ], tsetse flies [ 29 , 30 ], and sandflies [ 31 , 32 ]. These data have also been used in predictive models for insect population density, contributing to operational strategies to control these species effectively [ 30 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Dengue, Zika, and chikungunya are arboviral diseases for which there are no effective therapies or vaccines. The only way to avoid their transmission is by controlling the vector Aedes aegypti, but insecticide resistance limits this strategy. To generate relevant information for surveillance and control mechanisms, we determined life cycle parameters, including longevity, fecundity, and mortality, of Colombian Ae. aegypti populations from four different geographical regions: Neiva, Bello, Itagüí, and Riohacha. When reared at 28 °C, Bello had the shortest development time, and Riohacha had the longest. Each mosquito population had its own characteristic fecundity pattern during four gonotrophic cycles. The survival curves of each population were significantly different, with Riohacha having the longest survival in both males and females and Bello the shortest. High mortality was observed in mosquitoes from Neiva in the egg stage and for Bello in the pupae stage. Finally, when mosquitoes from Neiva and Bello were reared at 35 °C, development times and mortality were severely affected. In conclusion, each population has a unique development pattern with an innate trace in their biological characteristics that confers vulnerability in specific stages of development.
