International Journal of Biology Sciences · 2023 · Vol. 5(2) · pp. 04–07
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the biting rate, infection rate as well as the potential rates of sandflies (Diptera: Phychodidae) in some remote areas of Ahiazu, Aboh and Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Areas of Imo State from January to December, 2021. Collection of flies was done using human bait method. In areas where sandflies were endemic, result shows that flies were predominant during the dry seasons (January to March) with a break during wet seasons. Another breeding peak during the months of November and December. There was a significant variation (p
