“…The data showing no significant differences between the treatments, and standard traps were pooled, and the numbers were averaged for all traps. We obtained no significant differences between different colored lights (Mann et al 2009). Therefore, the data from these treatments were pooled for determining Lutzomyia spp.…”

The seasonality of phlebotomine sand flies was studied in Florida, utilizing colored light-emitting diode- and attractant-baited Mosquito Magnet MM-X traps from September 2006 to September 2008 at San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park, Gainesville, FL. A total of 6,278 sand flies were collected from 314 actual nights and 1,692 total trap-nights, yielding 3.7 sand flies per trap-night. Lutzomyia shannoni was the predominant species, constituting 55% to 80% of the total sand fly populations collected during the studies. Both L. shannoni and L. vexator populations were highly seasonal and were moderately influenced by weather factors. Lutzomyia shannoni populations peaked in May and showed reduced activity during December, January, and February. This species was active throughout the year and showed positive and negative correlations with average monthly temperature and relative humidity, respectively. Lutzomyia vexator showed peak activity during August and October with an activity lull from December to March. This species showed a positive correlation with average monthly temperature. No correlations were observed with either species for average daily, weekly, or 1- to 8-wk-lagging precipitation, number of rainy days, wind speed, or lunar phases. Lutzomyia shannoni abundance was weakly correlated to L. vexator abundance. No other Lutzomyia spp. were collected during the study.

“…However, studies for New World sand ßy species have reported the role of octenol as a possible attractant (Andrade et al 2008). A study that combined visual and olfactory attractants has shown that Psathyromyia shannoni (Dyar) (ϭLutzomyia shannoni) was attracted to octenol with 1-hexen-3-ol and red light-emitting diode light (Mann et al 2009). In the current study, we observed a dose-dependent response where there was an increase of N. neivai captures with increasing of octenol release rates.…”

“…Octenol (1-octen-3-ol) has been evaluated for attractancy to zoophilic hematophagous Diptera species, showing positive or negative responses depending on the group or the species evaluated (Gibson and Torr 1999). Studies carried out with octenol and Old World sand ßies species have not shown signs of attractiveness (Cameron et al 1991, Beavers et al 2004), but for New World sand ßies it has shown relative attractiveness (Andrade et al 2008, Mann et al 2009). …”

The kairomone octenol is known as attractive to hematophagous Diptera such as mosquitoes, tsetse flies, and midges. There is little evidence that traps baited with octenol are also effective in attracting phlebotomine sand flies. The present report evaluated octenol in modified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) traps in two experiments: 1) modified CDC trap without light and 2) modified CDC trap with light. The traps were baited with octenol at concentrations of 0.5, 27, and 43 mg/h in Rincão locality, São Paulo, Brazil. Traps without octenol were used as controls. The sand fly Nyssomyia neivai (Pinto) (= Lutzomyia neivai) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) was the prevalent species (99.9%) in both experiments. The results of the experiments showed that traps baited with octenol at 27 and 43 mg/h caught significantly more N. neivai than control and octenol at 0.5 mg/h with and without light. This is the first report that shows that octenol itself is attractive to N. neivai and associated with light traps significantly increases the catches.

“…Although information on natural history and trapping that could be useful in surveillance has improved (Comer and Brown, 1993;Brinson et al 1992;Comer et al , 1994Haddow et al 2008;Claborn et al 2008;, Mann et al 2009Minter et al 2009Minter et al , 2011Minter 2010;Mann and Kaufmann 2010;Minter and Brown 2010), identiÞcation remains troublesome across this group of insects. Current taxonomic keys to the Phlebotominae are difÞcult to use and are largely based on features of the genitalia and internal reproductive structures, which require the use of tedious clearing, dissection techniques and microscopy, or both (Young and Perkins 1984, Young and Duncan 1994, El-Hossary 2006.…”

Molecular Identification of Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Eastern North America by Using PCR-RFLP

et al. 2013

Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are small blood-feeding dipterans that are primary vectors of numerous human and livestock pathogens. Effective surveillance programs with accurate identification tools are critical in development and implementation of modern integrated pest management programs. Although morphological keys are available for North American species, identification can still be challenging owing to the nature of sample preparation and incompatibility with molecular or biochemical-based pathology assays. Further, the potential for introduction of Old World or other exotic species is not accounted for by current keys. Herein, we present the development and validation of a restriction fragment-length polymorphism-based molecular identification method. Specifically, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, a mitochondrial DNA marker, was used to distinguish two species of adult sand flies indigenous to eastern North America with two exotic species not yet known to occur in the United States.
