Mitä tarkoittaa
Sandflies are small flying insects belonging to the family Psychodidae, often found in tropical and subtropical regions. They are known for their painful bites and their role as vectors for various diseases, including leishmaniasis and bartonellosis. Sandflies are most active during dusk and dawn, and their presence is closely associated with humid environments. The female sandfly feeds on blood, which is necessary for the development of her eggs, while males primarily feed on nectar. The bites of sandflies can lead to allergic reactions, and in some cases, they can transmit pathogens that cause significant health issues.
