ABSTRACT
The source of blood meal of wild caught Phlebotomid sandflies collected in areas around Pondicherry was identified using an agarose gel diffusion method. A total of 497 blood samples obtained from freshly engorged Phlebotomid sandflies were tested. Of these 66.8% were positive to human antisera, 29.2% to bovine antisera and the remaining 4.0% to avain antisera. The human blood indices of P. papatasi and P. argentipes were 0.91 and 0.04, respectively.
