Abstract
In the present paper it is intended to analyse the results of feeding experiments with
Phlebotomus perniciosus
on animals infected with various strains of
Leishmania infantum
carried out during 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1933. In a previous paper (1931) the results of feeding experiments carried out on a Chinese hamster from June 18 to October 22, 1930, were discussed. Only 330 sandflies infected by feeding on a Chinese hamster inoculated with Catania strains of
L. infantum
were included, and the results obtained appeared fairly uniform but for one point. A large majority of sandflies had an infection in which flagellates described as "long forms" predominated and only a small proportion (5%) were infected with "short forms" Proboscis infections (
i. e
., infections in the epipharynx) were observed mainly among the latter. The "short form infections" were observed from September 20 till the end of the sandfly season in 1930.
