TL;DR: Despite annual variations, multiple collections performed over consecutive years provided homogeneous patterns of the potential behavior of leishmaniasis vectors in selected sites, which it is proposed may represent sentinel areas for future monitoring.

TL;DR: Species identification of sand flies by MALDI-TOF MS is feasible and represents a novel promising tool to improve biological and epidemiological studies on these medically important insects.

TL;DR: Paternal mtDNA leakage might not be a stochastic result of an error-prone mechanism, but rather, it may be under complex genetic control, and that it should increase with phylogenetic distance of hybridizing species.

TL;DR: The most important species found, P. neglectus, was indisputably the most adapted species in the study area with a very high reaction norm, favoring even the lower temperature and humidity ranges, indicating that the Greek Aegean Islands, however small, maintain a rich sand fly fauna.

TL;DR: To investigate the prevalence of Leishmania infection in rodents from various areas of northern Greece, a large number of samples were collected from marsupials and confirmed as positive for Leishmaniasis.
