  abstract = {{T}he population structure of {P}hlebotomus ariasi, a proven vector of {L}eishmania infantum in the {M}editerranean area, is still poorly understood. {P}reviously, only two microsatellite loci had been developed to study the population genetics of this species. {H}erein we use these loci and determined fourteen novel microsatellite loci, useful for the characterization of {P}hlebotomus ariasi populations. {T}hese loci were tested on three populations of {P}hlebotomus ariasi, two from {F}rance and one from {P}ortugal. {I}n addition, the usefulness of these markers was also evaluated on seven other sandfly species. {W}e show, that for {P}hlebotomus ariasi, 15 of the 16 loci selected were polymorphic, with a mean of 4.25 alleles and an observed heterozygosity of 0.299. {W}ithin the {P}hlebotomus ariasi population of {F}rance, 11 loci were polymorphic, with an average of 2.44 alleles and an observed heterozygosity of 0.2177. {T}he fixation index was moderate among the {F}rench populations but high between {F}rench and {P}ortuguese populations. {I}n addition, eight loci were also found to be amplifiable in six other {P}hlebotomus species. {T}hese results demonstrate the usefulness of this new set of microsatellite loci for population structure and molecular ecology studies of {P}hlebotomus ariasi at various spatial scales, but also of other sandfly species.},
