title: [Preliminary test of phlebotomus surveillance by light-traps].
abstract: Different light-traps were tested in Wenxian of Gansu Province, including the light-traps without lamp and with glucose solution as attractant. Results showed that the light-traps attracted more mosquitoes and other insects than sandflies, and it became difficult to pick up the sandflies from gathering packet; the light-trap without lamp captured smaller amount of sandflies but much less other insects; glucose showed no significant effect in attracting sandflies. The existing light-traps are not so effective for Phlebotomus surveillance, and it is suggested that more effective attractants be tried.
