Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Pressatia choti is a common sand fly found in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, which is suspected to be involved in the transmission of Leishmania braziliensis. Herein, we aimed to establish a Pr. choti laboratory colony.
METHODS: Wild-caught female sand flies were blood fed on hamsters and maintained under controlled conditions (temperature: 26 °C; relative humidity: 70%).
RESULTS: Of the 301 collected female sandflies, 288 were identified as Pr. choti. The life cycle duration ranged from 31 to 56 days.
CONCLUSIONS: We successfully established a Pr. choti colony, whose biological parameters were similar to those of other neotropical sand flies.

摘要：
背景：Pressatiachoti是在巴西大西洋森林中发现的一种常见的沙蝇，怀疑与巴西利什曼原虫的传播有关。在这里，我们的目标是建立一个公关。choti实验室殖民地。
方法：野生捕获的雌性沙蝇在仓鼠上喂食血液，并保持在受控条件下（温度：26°C；相对湿度：70％）。
结果：在收集的301只雌性沙蝇中，288被鉴定为Pr。choti.生命周期持续时间为31至56天。
结论：我们成功建立了Pr。choti殖民地，其生物学参数与其他新热带沙蝇相似。
