Phlebotomus perniciosus female feeding on a human host (First author MABS). Sand flies are attracted or repelled by Volatile Organic Compounds of humans and dogs. In the study by Bezerra-Santos et al., VOCs eliciting attractive and repellent responses for P. perniciosus females were identified, shedding light on the development of sustainable sand fly monitoring and control strategies in leishmaniasis endemic areas.
