Abstract
Many areas of Iran are endemic regarding Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) as a parasitic disease transmitted by a female sand fly vector's bite. The present study investigated the distribution of sand flies in Harand and Egieh in Isfahan province, Central Iran. Overall, 408 out of 1260 collected sand flies were identified morphologically, among which 353 and 55 were isolated from Harand and Egieh, respectively. Also, 66.4 and 33.6 of the sand flies were female and male, respectively. The most prevalent sand fly species were Phlebotomus papatasi (52), followed by Ph. caucasicus (40.4), Sergentomyia sintoni (4.9), and Ph. kazeruni (0.7). Among 180 molecularly-analyzed sand flies, 14 (7.77) were found infected with L. major, with 9 out of 103 (8.73) Ph. papatasi and 5 out of 75 (6.66) Ph. caucasicus.
