Summary

Description
العربية: الفاصدة الباباتاسية وقد انتهت من وجبة الدم
English: This photograph depicts a Phlebotomus papatasi sandfly, which had landed atop the skin surface of the photographer, who’d volunteered himself as host for this specimen’s blood meal. The sandflies are members of the Dipteran family, Psychodidae, and the subfamily Phlebotominae. This specimen had just completed its ingestion of its bloodmeal, which is visible through its distended transparent abdomen. Sandflies such as this P. papatasi, are responsible for the spread of the vector-borne parasitic disease leishmaniasis, which is caused by the obligate intracellular protozoa of the genus Leishmania.
