Abstract

The systematics of phlebotomine sandflies have significantly advanced in the last two decades through the incorporation of a growing body of information on the biology of sandflies and the introduction of new techniques: chromosome analysis, enzyme electrophoresis, detailed morphological studies, laboratory rearing and colonization, and multivariate morphometrics. These techniques have been used mainly in the study of intra-specific variation of vector species. The rôle of sandfty systematics in the epidemiology of leishmaniasis is discussed.

Résumé

La systématique des phlébotomes a fait des progrès significatif pendant les deux déceunies dernières grâce à l'élaboration d'une quantité croissante d'information sur la biologie des phlébotomes et l'introduction des techniques nouvelles: l'analyse des chromosomes, l'électrophorèse enzymatique, les études morphologiques détaillées, l'élevage des stades pré-imaginaux et la colonisation an laboratoire, et la morphométrique multivariable. On a employé ces techniques surtout pour l'étude de la variation intro-spécifique des espèces vecteurs. L'auteur diseuse le rôle de la systématique des phlébotomes dans l'épidémiologie des leishmanioses.
