Information on sandfly vectors, as well as their associated <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> species, is of paramount importance because vector dispersion is one of the major factors responsible for pathogen dissemination. A number of 515 sandflies (275 males and 240 females) were collected during June\u2013November 2012 using the Centers for Disease Control miniature light traps from Al Rabta, northwest of Libya. Two hundred and forty unfed females were identified; <jats:italic>Phlebotomus<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>Ph.<\/jats:italic>) <jats:italic>papatasi<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 97), <jats:italic>Ph. sergenti<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 27), <jats:italic>Ph. longicuspis<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 32), <jats:italic>Sergentomyia<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>Se.<\/jats:italic>) <jats:italic>minuta<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 38), and <jats:italic>Se. fallax<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 46). These flies were screened for <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> DNA using the polymerase chain reaction\u2013restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 1 and sequencing. Two <jats:italic>Ph. sergenti<\/jats:italic> were found positive to <jats:italic>L. tropica<\/jats:italic> DNA. This finding should be considered for any further vector surveillance and epidemiological studies of CL in endemic areas across Libya.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,13]],"date-time":"2018-03-13T07:00:20Z","timestamp":1520924420000},"page":"1339-1342","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Natural
