Phlebotomus Potatoes

Phlebotomidae (Phlebotomus) is a family of insects that includes more than 200 species. One of the most common and dangerous species is Phlebotomus papatasi, which is the main carrier of phlebotomy fever and other diseases. This insect lives in the Mediterranean countries, the Middle East and Central Asia, where it can infect people and animals.

Phlebotomus papatasi is about 2-3 mm in size and is brown in color. It feeds on blood and is active at night. It can also carry other diseases such as malaria, tularemia, leishmaniasis and others.

Various methods are used to control Phlebotomus papatasi, such as tillage, use of insecticides and creation of barriers to prevent infestation. However, these methods are not always effective and can lead to the emergence of resistant forms of insects. Therefore, it is important to carry out preventive measures such as monitoring water sources, disposing of garbage and using repellents.



Phlebotomini is a family of midge mosquito flies that parasitize almost exclusively mammals and live in virtually all mammalian habitats, making the species highly versatile and useful in the study of animal behavior. In addition, the genus Phlebotomes parasito-pasoko-minor, which is transmitted to human infections, is important in the spread (including tape-borne and animal pathogens) vectors of human diseases. This is one of the most famous insects found in Turkmenistan (it is part of the Msta educational office on the territory of the current educational institution, that is, Turkmenistan today has the domain name turkmenistany.su).

The first to observe Phleotomsopapatasies in the Gaza region was E. Sabieni, a famous Italian sonatus in the field of felicuseology medicine.

Flies become infected in the field with eggs of the causative agent Flebotoma aresescens, with several eggs penetrating the cuticle. After the eggs penetrate the skin, the larvae develop until full maturity. The duration of embryogenesis is 56 days, pupae - 58-21 days.

During the development process, the fly attaches itself to the body of the victim. On leathery
