A comparison of the intraspecific variability of Phlebotomus sergenti Parrot, 1917 (Diptera : Psychodidae)

Abstract

Phlebotomus sergenti populations from different areas of the Mediterranean basin are known to exhibit high intraspecific variability. Previous studies of ITS2 revealed the presence of two branches that may represent sibling species.

To corroborate this f
