  abstract = {{V}isceral leishmaniasis is not endemic in {W}est {A}frica, but prevalence of canine leishmaniasis and seroprevalence of {L}eishmania infantum infection in humans are high in the {M}ont {R}olland community ({T}hies region, {S}enegal). {P}revious studies in this area showed that {S}ergentomyia schwetzi could be the potential vector of {L}e. infantum. {T}o precisely describe the biology and population structure of this potential vector, we identified eight novel microsatellite loci to characterize {S}e. schwetzi populations. {W}e tested these loci in {S}e. schwetzi populations from five locations at {M}ont {R}olland ({T}hies, {S}enegal). {A}ll the loci were polymorphic, with a mean of 17.25 alleles (observed heterozygosity: 0.455). {W}e did not detect any evidence of scoring errors due to stuttering and large allele dropout. {M}oreover, several of these loci were also amplified in six other sand fly species ({S}ergentomyia magna, {S}ergentomyia dubia, {S}ergentomyia minuta, {P}hlebotomus duboscqi, {P}hlebotomus perniciosus, and {P}hlebotomus ariasi). {T}hese preliminary results demonstrate the utility of these microsatellite markers for {S}e. schwetzi (and for the other sand fly species) population genetic studies.},
