Abstract
In a survey of Leishmania infections in phlebotomine sandflies in visceral leishmaniasis focus at Aba Roba, Segen Valley, southern Ethiopia, Phlebotomus duboscqi was found naturally infected with L. major (zymodeme MON-74). This is the first isolation of L. major from a vector sandfly in Ethiopia, from an area where human and/or rodent infections with L. major are, so far, unknown.Keywords
