Abstract

Lutzomyia shannoni Dyar were collected on Ossabaw Island, Chatham County, GA, and tested for infection with viruses of the genus Phlebovirus. No virus isolates were obtained from 5,053 sand flies collected in 1990 and 1991. These results suggest that phleboviruses are absent from this population of sand flies.
