- A total of 712 sand flies were collected over two periods, with 697 identified as Lu. longipalpis, revealing varying infestation rates influenced by rainfall and humidity.
- No sand flies tested positive for Leishmania, but the findings help identify environmental factors for effective control measures against sand flies.
