| Abstract | ||||
| Small-sized sand-flies about 3 mm in length are typical for many species, which helps them in the escaping notice. Females suck blood from various mammals including man, reptiles and birds, which bite is not always felt, but leaves a small round, reddish bump that starts itching hours or days later. They transmit bacterial parasitic and viral infectious diseases. | ||||
