Leishmaniasis in Morocco: Epidemiology, Transmission Dynamics, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Disease Management

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted by infected phlebotomine sand flies, and they remain a major public health challenge in Morocco. The burden is dominated by cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL), mainly associated with Leishmania major, Leishmania tropica, and L ...

An Update on the Sand Fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Khartoum, Sudan: Species Composition and Distribution in Areas Endemic for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
An update on the composition and distribution of sand fly species in the Nile environments of Khartoum. Variations were observed in species number than in species composition. The study will be a good reference for future studies on sandflies after the change in their habitat due to the current war in Sudan. ABSTRACT Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors

Morphological and Molecular Techniques as an Integrative Approach to Identifying Sandfly (Diptera: Psychodidae) Vectors of Leishmaniasis in the Jazan and Asir Regions, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Sandflies are the primary vectors of leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease of major public health concern in Saudi Arabia. While morphological identification remains the standard for species classification in the Jazan and Asir regions, distinguishing closely related taxa is often challenging and time‐consuming.
