Sergentomyia minuta (Rondani, 1843)
This sandfly species is common in the Mediterranean region and is also found in parts of western Asia. It suspected to be a vector of the Toscana virus as well as Leishmania major (e.g. see Jaouadi et al., 2015). The hosts are mainly cold-blooded reptiles like lizards and geckos. However, it has been also recorded to feed on small mammals (e.g. see Jaouadi et al., 2013).
