Regular monitoring and accurate identification of sand fly species are essential for implementing tailored vector control interventions.

Sand flies were collected from 43 districts with active VL cases across the country between 2017 and 2022. The mitochondrial COI gene was amplified for DNA barcoding analysis. The primary vector, Phlebotomus argentipes, was present in all except three districts. Potential vectors, Ph. (Adlerius) spp. and Ph. major, were found common in high-altitude regions. The species identification success rate of generated COI barcode sequences based on the \"Best Close Match\" was 97%, indicating high accuracy in delineating sand flies to the species level.

A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2022 and March 2023 using a self-report questionnaire. Snowball sampling enabled the enrollment of 230 participants aged 20 to 80, divided into three categories based on their employment type: face-to-face, telework, and hybrid. The exploratory factor analysis of the perception of telework practices total scale produced two subscales (subscale 1: Perceived Drawbacks and subscale 2: Perceived Advantages of Telework Practices). The advantages/drawbacks of telework were positively correlated with each other and with their own factors. A significant, weak, but positive correlation was found between telework drawback and advantage scores (r = 0.266, p < 0.001). Moreover, a positive correlation was also found between the E-Work Life (EWL) subscales and the Perceived Advantages of Telework Practices. The Perceived Drawbacks scale was overall less associated with the EWL satisfaction subscale, and no significant correlation was found with productivity or flexibility.

However, limited understanding of stranding patterns, trends, and the oceanographic factors potentially driving these events has resulted in efforts focusing primarily on responding to strandings rather than implementing effective mitigation strategies. Using a 13-year stranding dataset (n = 115) obtained from open-access databases, reports, news, and publications, we examined the characteristics of stranding cases in Indonesia, including population demographics, where hotspots occur, and whether their occurrence is related to oceanographic dynamics in the region.
