Abstract
A new technique for rearing the Panamanian phlebotomine sand fly Lutzomyia trapidoi (Fairchild & Hertig) described. Experimental data are provided on sugar- and blood-feeding, mating, oviposition and culture of immature stages. As many as 70% of females survived oviposition when maintained in styrofoam chambers and fed concentrated sucrose solutions.Keywords
