Popis: The effect of building activities on the abundance of sandflies was investigated in Jordan. A total of 3442 sandflies were collected. The largest collections were made from natural habitats, uninhabited and inhabited houses. Collections from the latter two often included a larger number of Phlebotomus species. It was evident from this study that sandfly populations are able to recover to, and often exceed their original natural densities in man-made artificial habitats.
