Abstract
An improved rearing technique, using a 0.95-liter (1-qt) clear plastic container and fine sand, enabled colonization for the first time of Lutzomyia trapidoi, an anthropophilic phlebotomine sand fly and major vector of leishmaniasis and arboviruses in Panama. The technique also improved the gonotrophic activity of the species by allowing 35 and 8% of females to complete 2 and 3 gonotrophic cycles, respectively.
