Pappataci fever, also called phlebotomus fever and, less precisely, sandfly fever or three-day fever, is a vector-borne febrile viral infection caused by three serotypes of Phlebovirus. It occurs in subtropical regions of the Eastern Hemisphere and takes its name from Italian words meaning eating and silent, describing how sandflies bite without the noise associated with mosquitoes.
