Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Our investigation uses nucleotide variations of the genera Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia using the EF-1α and Cyt b genotype regions to describe the sand fly fauna and genetic aspects collected at war-torn sites of the Khuzestan boundary between Iraq and Iran. METHODS: All sand fly species were characterized using molecular genetics. The field work was conducted in six districts including 24 locations...
