[Biometric study of the populations of Sergentomyia minuta (Rondani, 1843) of the southeastern Iberian Peninsula]. / Estudio biometrico de las poblaciones de Sergentomyia minuta (Rondani, 1843) del sureste de la Peninsula Iberica.

A biometrical study has been carried out in a group of specimens of Sergentomyia minuta from the southeast of Spain. An analysis of the data shows that samples are grouped according to the season of capture and locality. Thus, seasonal variations are observed in the sandflies, which, show a decrease in size as the cycle progresses. The greatest size is shown by the adults from the winter generation of larvae.

[Comparative study of anthropophilia and phototropism among sandflies in a focus of leishmaniasis in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula]. / Estudio comparado de la antropofilia y el fototropismo de los flebotomos en un foco de leishmaniasis del sureste de la Peninsula Iberica.

Studies carried out in the Southeast of Spain on Sandflies, have shown the phenology, distribution and ecology of the various species and have permitted the identification of those populations related with endemic areas of Leishmaniasis. In this paper, a comparative study of phototropism and anthropophilia is made in order to identify the sandflies species involved in the transmission of Leishmaniasis and to increase our knowledge of their biology.
