“…In the three foci of CANL reported in this study, both species-P. perniciosus and P. ariasi-were taken together, unlike other foci on the Mediterranean coast where there is usually a predominance of one species over the other, such as P. perniciosus in Marseilles (Gilot et al, 1983) and in Italy (Maroli et al, 1987) or P. ariasi in the Cévennes (Rioux et al, 1967) or where both species are well represented in a given region, they are usually separated altitudinally (e. g. in Almeria, Spain;Martinez Ortega, 1986). As in Salamanca both species have been reported occuring together in Portugal (Ferreirares, 1956, in Rioux et al, 1967.…”

SUMMARY.Of 433 dogs examined in 4 natural zones of Salamanca Province, Spain, the pre valence of canine leishmaniasis (IFAT titres > 1/80) was 0-3 % in most mountain villages and from the Castillian plateau (> 600 m. a. s. 1.) and 10-15 % in villages situated on hillsides (« flanc du coteau ») with elevations < 600 m. a. s. 1. An exception was the high prevalence found in the area around the city of Salamanca owing to its height (800 m. a. s. 1.) and flood-plain situation.Of 5,105 sandflies captured with sticky traps, P. perniciosus and P. ariasi were well repre sented at the sites with high prevalences of canine leishmaniasis but not elsewhere. Their abun dance in the periurban area of the city of Salamanca is attributed mainly to human transforma tion of the environment. Of the two species, only with P. ariasi can a linear relationship be observed between density and the prevalence of canine leishmaniasis, which seems to show that in Salamanca P. ariasi is its main vector. The probable lower observed vectorial capacity of P. perniciosus could be due to the fact that no progressive physiological ageint towards the end of the summer was observed.Patients with leishmaniasis in the Province come from sites with the highest prevalence of canine leishmaniasis.

RÉSUMÉ.De 433 chiens analysés, dans les quatre zones naturelles de la province de Salamanca, les pourcentages de Leishmaniose canine (titres IFAT = 1/80) ont été de 0-3 % dans la plupart des villages des montagnes -à climat alpin -et dans les villages de la plaine de la province (700-900 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer) et de 10-15 % dans les villages situés à mi-versant et à des altitudes inférieures aux 600 m (au-dessus du niveau de la mer). Une exception parmi les hautes prévalences a été la zone périphérique de Salamanca capital, par son altitude (800 m) et sa situation dans une « vega ».Des 5 105 phlébotomes capturés au moyen de trappes adhésives, P. perniciosus et P: ariasi ont été bien représentés seulement dans les lieux ayant de hautes prévalences de Leishmaniose canine. Leur abondance dans la zone périphérique de Salamanca capital est attribuée, fondamen talement, aux transformations anthropogéniques de l'environnement. Des deux espèces, unique ment chez P. ariasi peut être observé un rapport linéal entre sa densité et la prévalence de la Leishmaniose, ce qu'indiquerait qu'à Salamanca P. ariasi est son vecteur principal.

“…Phlebotomus perfiliewi species have generally been reported from the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Southeast France, Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Ukraine, Israel, Balkan Peninsula, Malta, North West Africa, former Soviet Union (Crimea), Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Sardinia Island, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Iran and Iraq (41). Phlebotomus perfiliewi s. s. has been reported as a suspected or proven vector of L. infantum in Algeria and Tunisia in North Africa (42,43), as well as in Greece ( 44), Poland (45), Italy (46), Romania, Serbia and former Yugoslavia (47) in Europe.…”

Background: This study's major aim is to investigate the situation of visceral leishmaniasis vectors, with a focus on their distribution and relationships to the disease in Iran and some other old-world nations. Methods: The terms Iran and the Old World, along with the keywords sand flies, vectors, visceral leishmaniasis, distribution, and Phlebotomus, were searched in electronic databases from 1930 to 2018, including Pub-Med, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE. Results: According to the findings, Phlebotomus tobbi was a mountain species, but it was also found in the plains, rodent nests, and rock crevices. This species was considered to be one of the vectors of visceral leishmaniasis in Iran. Phlebotomus kandelakii has been caught in Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and Georgia. In Iran, the first infection of Phlebotomus kandelakii and Ph. perfiliewi transcaucasicus with Leishmania infantum were reported in northwest of Iran. Phlebotomus major was one of the complex sand flies, and its members include Ph. major (India, Nepal, and Pakistan), Ph. neglectus (Southern Europe, Crimea and Iran), Ph. syriacus (Southwest Asia, Caucasus), Ph. notus (Afghanistan and Iran), Ph. wenyoni (Iran and Iraq), and Ph. wui (China). The first natural infection of Ph. alexandri with Leishmania infantum was reported in 2006 in endemic foci of visceral leishmaniasis in Fars Province, southern Iran. Conclusion: The findings of this project suggest that sand fly species of the subgenus Larrousisus play a key role in the transmission of all types of visceral leishmaniasis in Iran.

In a survey of Leishmania infections of phlebotomine sandflies caught in central and south Italy in 1986, zymodeme MON-1 (Montpellier 1) of Leishmania infantum was isolated from Phlebotomus perniciosus and L. tarentolae [= Trypanosoma platydactyli?] was isolated from Sergentomyia minuta, providing for mainland Italy the first direct proof of these long-suspected parasite-vector associations. The roles of P. perfiliewi and P. perniciosus in the transmission of Leishmania spp. in Italy are discussed.
