Abstract

Out of 1,167 females of sandflies dissected, one specimen of Phlebotomus papatasi captured at a transmission site near Biskra, a well known Algerian focus of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis, was found naturally infected with Leishmania major zymodeme MON-25. This supports classical observations of Sergent and al. P. papatasi as vector in this focus in 1921.
