Abstract: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected clinical form of public health importance that is quite prevalent in the northern and eastern parts of Egypt. A comprehensive study over seven years (January 2005-December 2011) was conducted to track CL transmission with respect to both sandfly vectors and animal reservoirs. The study identified six sandfly species collected from different districts in North Sinai: Phlebotomus papatasi, Phlebotomus kazeruni, Phlebotomus sergenti, Phlebotomus alexandri, Sergentomyia … Show more

“…Based on the clinical manifestations and the parasites species involved, leishmaniasis can be present three main forms: visceral (also known as kala-azar, the most serious form that can be lethal), cutaneous (the most common), and mucosal (Stark et al, 2006; Shah et al, 2010; Badirzadeh et al, 2013; McCall et al, 2013; Organização Pan Amaricana De Saúde and, 2018). Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by several species of dermotropic Leishmania , such as L. tropica and L. major in the Old World along with L. braziliensis and L. amazonesis in the New World (Carvalho et al, 2005; Samy et al, 2014; Kahime et al, 2016). Mucosal leishmaniasis, also known as or mucocutaneous, is most commonly observed with infections by species restricted to South America, principally from the sub-genius Viannia , such as L. braziliensis and L. panamensis (Miranda Lessa et al, 2007).…”

“…Environmental factors may affect several ecological and biological processes that act directly on controlling the vector’s geographical distribution, abundance and reproductive rates. All of these associations between environmental conditions and the distribution of sand fly vectors reveal a gap of knowledge to the current situation in Morocco; however, evidences are available from other countries in the region [ 17 , 18 ].…”

“…The diversity of both the vector and rodent populations was examined using diversity indices and clustering approaches. Samy et al (2014a) in North Sinai carried out a comprehensive study over seven years (January 2005-December 2011 to track ZCL transmission with respect to vectors and animal reservoirs by using diversity indices and clustering approaches. They identified P. papatasi, P. kazeruni, P. sergenti, P. alexandri, Sergentomyia antennata and S. clydei.…”
