Abstract
The feeding time for sand fly females was determined experimentally by feeding of thirty
females (3-5 days-old) sand fly Phlebotomus papatasi on different blood sources (human,
pigeon, hamster and blab C mice). Mean feeding time was longest on blab C mice, 8.55
minutes, followed by hamster, 7.05 minutes, then pigeon, 4.84 minutes, and finally human,
4.69 minutes. Significant difference was observed in the feeding time between females fed
on hamster and balb c mice but there is no significant difference between females fed on …
