Hidden in plain sight: Discovery of sand flies in Singapore and description of four species new to science

2025-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are small, blood-sucking insects that are of significant public and veterinary health importance for their role in the transmission of Leishmania parasites, bacteria and arboviruses. Although sand flies have been documented in most Southeast Asian countries, there are no published records confirming their presence in Singapore. Here, we provide the first documented e...
