dc.description.abstractPhlebotomine sand flies are vectors of various diseases such as leishmaniasis making them a public health concern worldwide. To increase the tools available for the study of sand flies, we developed do it yourself (DIY) light traps made mainly from recycled materials and tested their effectiveness in the field. This new model is named Flebocollect light trap. In this report we describe how the DIY light traps are prepared and illustrate the process with a short video. Lowering costs makes this resource available for citizen science and educational projects, and for research groups with a low budget such as those in developing countries. Our preliminary results showed a capture rate increase of 37 % of DIY light traps over commercial CDC, although no statistical evidence has been obtaineden_US
