ABSTRACT
A survey on phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera, Psychodidae) was carried out in the province of L'Aquila, Abruzzo region (Italy). Ten collecting sites at altitudes between 700 and 1,070 m a.s.l., produced a total of 324 specimens (81.1% males), 72.86% being Phlebotomus perniciosus, 3.08% P. mascittii, 0.30% P. papatasi and 23.76% Sergentomyia minuta. The collecting sites at 1,070, 950 and 775 m a.s.l. are the highest levels recorded in Italy for P. perniciosus, P. mascittii and P. papatasi, respectively. P. perfiliewi, the proven vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the Abruzzo region (Maroli et al., 1987) was absent. The probable role of P. perniciosus in the transmission of the sporadic CL cases reported from the area is discussed.
