The leishmenia parasite-infected female phlebotomine sandfly is found to transmit the infectious disease, visceral leishmeniasis. The recent developments in new drugs based disease management protocols suffer from the disadvantages of high costs and longer treatment periods. Current vector control programs focus mainly on Indoor Residual Spraying of the sandfly infested dwellings with insecticides, or Long-lasting Insecticidal Nets. However both strategies suffer from the disadvantages, of difficulty in implementation in the former case and the later strategy being highly cost intensive.
