“…In Spain, CanL is one of the most important diseases of dogs in many parts of the country (Chitimia et al, ; Solano‐Gallego, Morell, Arboix, Alberola, & Ferrer, ). Moreover, HumL, typically observed in immunocompromised people, has recently taken epidemic proportions among immunocompetent residents (Arce et al, ; Roth‐Damas et al, ) with an increasing incidence of leishmaniosis records as first diagnosis in non‐HIV‐infected individuals (Herrador et al, ). In central Spain, an important outbreak is associated with a high prevalence of asymptomatic infection in hares and wild rabbits (Arce et al, ; Jiménez, González, Martín‐Martín, Hernández, & Molina, ; Molina et al, ).…”

The epidemiological cycle of zoonotic phlebotomine‐borne Leishmania infantum is a complex system in which domestic animals and wildlife interact and participate in its maintenance and transmission. In this study, we combined entomological surveillance, xenomonitoring of L. infantum and identification of host feeding sources of engorged females to investigate the potential contribution of a periurban wildlife park to leishmaniosis in neighbouring residential areas. Overall, 7,309 sand flies were collected in 111 trap‐days during the summers of 2016–2018 in an endemic area in south‐east Spain. Five different sand fly species were captured, with Phlebotomus perniciosus, the main L. infantum vector in this region, representing the most common species. Sand fly distribution was spatially heterogeneous in terms of species, sexes and female physiological stage (unfed, gravid and engorged females) and related to host distribution and management, and environmental features. None of the 602 sand flies analysed for L. infantum infection by kinetoplast real‐time PCR were positive. We used molecular tools to identify the vertebrate hosts of sand flies and identified 17 host species, mainly mammals. Human DNA was not identified in engorged sand flies. This study provides evidence that wildlife parks in south‐east Spain are ideal grounds for sand fly vectors but do not necessarily increase L. infantum infection risk to humans and dogs living in surrounding residential areas. This is probably because vectors feed mostly on non‐L. infantum competent hosts and this should be investigated for a better understanding of the contribution of wildlife parks to the local epidemiology of L. infantum.

Background:Human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an endemic disease in many parts of Sudan.Objective:To document an outbreak of CL among internally displaced people (IDP) in north Sudan.Methods:A household survey was conducted in the rural region of New Manasir, at El Damer Locality in north Sudan during the year 2013. All villagers were screened for recent and old skin lesions in addition to other urgent medical problems. Written consent was obtained from each participant before data collection. A pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of participants. The diagnosis of CL was based on clinical findings and/or identification of the amastigotes on skin smears.Results:Out of the 1,236 individuals enrolled in this survey, 688 were diagnosed as cases of CL, giving an infection rate of 55.7%. Children constituted 244 (35.5%) of infected cases. Majority of skin lesions were found in the Extremities 524 (76.2%). The average duration of skin lesions was 3.6 months (±1.6).Conclusion:This outbreak among IDPs affected a large proportion of inhabitants of the newly established villages in north Sudan. Preventive measures might have help control such outbreaks.

“…En las manifestaciones clínicas que presentaban los pacientes el 40.7% tenían una única lesión, situación similar a la reportada por otros autores (32)(33)(34). La ubicación más común de las lesiones fueron los miembros superiores; debido a que la picadura se da principalmente en áreas del cuerpo que se encuentran descubiertas (32,33).…”

Introducción: La leishmaniasis es una de las enfermedades reemergentes de mayor importancia en salud pública, causa grandes costos y puede generar discapacidad. Objetivo: Evaluar el costo y la efectividad obtenida con el tratamiento de primera línea para leishmaniasis cutánea en los municipios de Otanche y Puerto Boyacá, Boyacá durante 2013-2014. Metodología: Estudio longitudinal retrospectivo de tipo descriptivo, se tomaron 86 pacientes que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión; se realizó un análisis de las características sociodemográficas, la efectividad del manejo de la patología con antimoniato de meglumina, los efectos adversos y los costos institucionales de los pacientes. Resultados: Se observó que los más afectados fueron los pacientes de 0 a 14 años, de género masculino (57%) y procedentes de zonas rurales. Las zonas corporales más comprometidas fueron los miembros superiores. El municipio de Otanche atendió el 86% de los pacientes reportados y en promedio el costo por paciente fue de 258,664 pesos. El municipio de Puerto Boyacá reportó el 14% de los casos y el costo promedio por paciente fue de 290,307 pesos; con una diferencia en costos por paciente de 31,643 entre los municipios. Conclusiones: Cuando la administración del medicamento se hace siguiendo las dosis recomendadas, la efectividad se encuentra alrededor del 90%. Los pacientes que recibieron dosis superiores a la indicada obtuvieron un mayor porcentaje de curación, sin embargo, no es necesario sobredosificar a los pacientes y elevar los costos para mejorar la curación. Los pacientes que recibieron dosis subterapéuticas generaron más costos debido a que es necesario brindarles servicios médicos de mayor complejidad.
