Investigation of natural infection of Phlebotomine (Diptera: Psychodidae) by Leishmania in Tunisian endemic regions

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2021
Leishmaniases are caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania transmitted by females blood-feeding phlebotomine insects (Diptera: Psychodidae). In Tunisia, cutaneous and visceral leishmaniases are of public health concern.
