Improved rearing conditions of sandflies(Phlebotomus argentipes), as required for studies on transmission dynamics of leishmaniasis

Abstract: Rearing conditions of sandflies (Phlebotomus argentipes) has been improved. Bloodfed females were initially maintained at 21-23° C for 5-7 days before allowing them to oviposit at 26-28° C and a proportion of flies were directly allowed to oviposit at 26-28° C just after feeding to see their oviposition survival and subsequently the refeeding rate.
