Abstract
⺠Cytochrome b (cyt b) gene sequences were determined for 13 sand fly species in Peru. ⺠Highly polymorphic sites were identified in the middle region of the cyt b gene. ⺠Haplotype analysis showed area-dependent genetic polymorphism in Lutzomyia peruensis. ⺠The cyt b gene will be a useful marker for genetic structure in sand fly populations.
