Abstract
A pilot study was conducted to determine the feasibility of chemical control of phlebotomine sand flies in a highly complex Neotropical rain forest in Panama. The aim was to reduce the risk of contracting leishmaniasis within prescribed areas of the forest utilized by military troops for training or other special activities. The results indicate that an average 30% reduction of anthropophilic sand flies was achieved in 9 months by utilizing malathion as 2% EC spray or 95% ULV fogging applied bimonthly.
