Extract

The importance that has attached to the genus Phlebotomus in connection with its rôle as a possible vector of infections with various members of the family Trypanosomidae has led in recent years to an intensive study of this genus. This study has been pursued chiefly in two directions, viz., the differentiation of species and the possible rôle played by some of these in the transmission of trypanosome infections.
