摘　　要：Objective:To identify potential vectors of kala-azar from Northern plains of Uttar Pradesh, India.Methods:The collections were made using sticky paper traps,CDC light-traps,and aspirators from outdoors as well as indoors.All female sandflies were dissected and identified. Results:During January 2009 to July 2009,528 phlebotomine specimens were collected including 329 males(62.3%) and 199 females(37.7%),approximately 238(45%) of them were captured from indoor and 290(55%) from outdoor resting places.Five species belonging to the genera Phlebotomus(8%) and Sergentomyia(92%) were recorded.Conclusions:Public health measures such as case detection and treatment,the control of sandflies,the conjunction elimination of infected stray dogs and health education can be effective in controlling the disease.Objective:To identify potential vectors of kala-azar from Northern plains of Uttar Pradesh, India.Methods:The collections were made using sticky paper traps,CDC light-traps,and aspirators from outdoors as well as indoors.All female sandflies were dissected and identified.
