Entomological Survey and Impact of Climatic Factors on the Dynamics of Sandflies in Central Morocco

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Sandflies are small insects belonging to the order Diptera, which make up the Phlebotominae subfamily within the Psychodidae family. In the fight against leishmaniasis in the prefecture of Meknes, Morocco, a study of the phlebotomist population was carried out during the period of activity of sandflies while studying the link between the abundance of ...

Leishmaniasis vectors in the environment of treated leishmaniasis cases in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 3247-3255, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Transmission of leishmaniasis in endemic areas is characterized by microfocality related to the presence of the vector. Most entomological studies in southwestern Europe have focused on sylvatic areas and town outskirts, very few have sampled town or urban centres, and no survey has investigated inside households.

Leishmania tarentolae: A new frontier in the epidemiology and control of the leishmaniases

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e1326-e1337, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Leishmaniasis (or the leishmaniases), classified as a neglected tropical parasitic disease, is found in parts of the tropics, subtropics and southern Europe. Leishmania parasites are transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies and million cases of human infection occur annually.

The current epidemiology of leishmaniasis in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia and implications for disease emergence in European countries

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 395-407, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Leishmania spp. are sand fly‐borne protozoan parasites causing leishmaniasis in humans and animals. The aim of the study was to analyse the epidemiology of leishmaniasis in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia from 2005 to 2020 and evaluate the associated risk for disease emergence in European countries.
