First record of a phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Phlebotomine sand flies are known vectors of pathogens important for public and veterinary health. They are well known to transmit protozoa parasites of the genus Leishmania. Despite their importance as vectors, sand fly distributions remain poorly understood, particularly in the Caribbean. We present the first observation of the sand fly Micropygomyia trinidadensis in Parke Hatun on Curaçao, an island of the Dutch Leeward Antilles. This is the first record of sand flies in the Dutch Caribbean. We discuss the ambiguities in biting behavior, as well as the potential role of this species in the transmission of Leishmania parasites. This finding expands the knowledge of sand fly occurrence in the Caribbean and offers insights for public and veterinary health risk assessments. Furthermore, this discovery underscores the need for continued sand fly monitoring to understand their distribution, ecology, and impact on local health.
