Genetic differentiation in the phlebotomidae species of Indian sand fly (Diptera)
Abstract
The Old World sandflies consist of three genera;Phlebotomus, Sergentomyia, and Chinius, whichare found in the Palaearctic, Afrotropical, Malagasy, Oriental, and Australian regions.Genus Phlebotomus(Rondani and Berté, 1840) includes 13 subgenera: Adlerius(Nitzulescu, 1931), Anaphlebotomus(Theodor, 1948),Australophlebotomus(Theodor, 1948), Euphlebotomus(Theodor, 1948), Idiophlebotomus(Quate & Fairchild, 1961), Kasaulius(Lewis, 1982), Larroussius(Theodor, 1948), Madaphlebotomus(Depaquit and Leger, 2015), Paraphlebotomus(Theodor, 1948), Phlebotomus(Rondani and Berté, 1840), Spelaeophlebotomus (Theodor, 1948), Synphlebotomus(Theodor, 1948), and Transphlebotomus (Artemiev, 1984). This genus includes many human blood feeders and some endophilic species.This paper includes information on Genetic differentiation on Indian elements.
