ABSTRACT
The effect of the blood of human, Guinea pig and hamster on the different biological aspects of phlebotomid sand fly, Phiebotomus papatasi under laboratory conditions of 28 +/- 2°C, 75 +/- 5% RH and a 1410 hr. [LD] photoperiod regime was evaluated. Man was the most preferable host followed by hamster, and then Guinea pig. Human blood gave the highest yield of eggs [mean 65.15 eggs/female], highest hatchability [mean 96.23%], shortest egg incubation period [mean 7.37 days], shortest larval duration [mean 22.59 days], shortest adult emergence period [mean 39.73 days] and highest productivity of the adult progeny [mean; 81.75%]. As human blood can not be currently used for laboratory rearing and colonization of sand flies, the hamster may be chosen as source of a substituted blood for the long term colonization of P. papatasi
