  abstract = {{D}ata from a 4-yr study of phlebotomine sand flies in 44 stations in southwestern {M}orocco are presented. {C}orrespondence analysis is used to describe the habitat preferences of nine sand fly species on a meso-scale (station) and a micro-scale (biotope). {T}his work, based on highly diversified data from various stations, comprising several biotopes sampled during different seasons, provides new information on the ecology of sand flies in southwestern {M}orocco. {I}t highlights many natural and artificial factors that affect the abundance and distribution of sand fly populations. {T}he impact of climate, urbanization, proximity of humans and domestic animals, organic matter in the soil, shelter, and vegetation type is discussed.},
