Six species of mosquitoes were recorded from the settlements in the oasis zone of Turkmenia. In all the settlements Ph. papatasi was prevalent, in the burrows of foxes and great gerbils Ph. papatasi was most abundant and in the burrows of midday gerbils Ser. arpaklensis was most frequently encountered. Epizootological investigations testify to the possible cases of cutaneous leishmaniosis within the oasis that is associated with intraoasis natural foci of zoonosal cutaneous leishmaniosis. These foci are potentially dangerous. In years of mass reproduction of gerbils and other wild animals, infection reservoirs, at high abundance of mosquitoes a danger of infection of population with cutaneous leishmaniosis cap arise in such zones.
在土库曼斯坦绿洲地区的定居点记录到六种蚊子。在所有定居点中，巴氏白蛉普遍存在，在狐狸和大沙鼠的洞穴中，巴氏白蛉数量最多，而在子午沙鼠的洞穴中，阿氏白蛉最常被发现。流行病学调查证明，绿洲内可能存在皮肤利什曼病病例，这与动物源性皮肤利什曼病的绿洲内自然疫源地有关。这些疫源地具有潜在危险性。在沙鼠和其他野生动物大量繁殖的年份，即感染源，当蚊子数量众多时，这些地区的人群就有可能感染皮肤利什曼病。
