结论可以这样说，尽管在地中海地区和中东地区遇到的一种或多种沙蝇热病毒的实验室调查为我们提供了更多关于病毒基本性质的信息，也为储存和未来的研究提供了供应，但开发某种体外传播病毒的方法和保护暴露人员的疫苗的主要目标并未达到。因此，特别幸运的是，滴滴涕被发现对控制住所内的白纹伊蚊非常有效22，而且现有的驱蚊剂在保护那些可能暴露在户外的人方面被证明是如此有效。即使未来的努力不会导致疫苗的发现，沙蝇热也不再需要成为过去在疫区各种行动中出现的军事问题。
ConclusionsIn conclusion it may be said that while the laboratory investigations on the virus or viruses of sandfly fever, which were encountered in the Mediterranean area and in the Middle East, gave us a good deal more information on the basic properties of the virus and, also, provided a supply for storage and future studies, the primary objectives of developing some method of propagating the virus outside of the human body and of a vaccine for the protection of exposed personnel, were not attained. It is, therefore, particularly fortunate that DDT was found to be so highly effective for the control ofPhlebotomus papatasiin dwellings22, and that the available mosquito repellents proved so effective in protecting those who may be exposed out of doors. Even if future efforts should not lead to the discovery of a vaccine, sandfly fever need no longer be the military problem that it had been in various operations in endemic areas in the past.
