[Annual fluctuations of Phlebotomus populations (Diptera, Phlebotomidae) in the province of Grenada (Spain)].
During a whole year, in order to know the annual evolution of the populations, a sampling of sandflies fauna in Granada (Spain) was carried out. The method of capture used was paper oiled. From the collected species, only S. minuta, P. perniciosus and P. ariasi were present in sufficient numbers to enable a proper observation of evolution. The first of these follows a monophasic course with maximum activity during the warmest months (July, August, September). However, P. perniciosus and P. ariasi show, in general, a diphasic curve with a highest rate at the beginning and end the warm season.
