In Spain, these vectors appear to be increasing their geographical distribution and have serious repercussions on public and veterinary health, encouraging studies of sand flies and their associated pathogens. An up-to-date and easily accessible compendium of current and historical data on their presence and detailed distribution is a crucial step towards the development and implementation of appropriate preventive strategies. A checklist on the presence and distribution of sand flies in Spain is compiled from data extracted from a comprehensive review of scientific literature published between 1909 and 2021 andZooKeys81-99https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9848825biostudies-literaturePhlebotomine sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae) from Spain: an updated checklist and extended distributions.PMC9848825Lucientes JDelacour-Estrella SRuiz-Arrondo IBravo-Barriga DPena REfalsePhlebotomine sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae) from Spain: an updated checklist and extended distributions.Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are the natural vectors of <i>Leishmania</i> spp. (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) and phleboviruses (Bunyavirales: Phenuiviridae).
