Occupational health remains neglected in developing countries because of competing social, economic and political challenges. Ethical issues in the workplace related to the hazards and risks of becoming infected by Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana, through the bite of naturally infected sand flies, is another area of concern that has been neglected as well. We report here the results of reviewing two entomological field studies carried out in our research center from 2003 to 2006. Eight students from our School of Biology were invited to catch sand flies. A total of six of the eight (75%) developed a typical clinical picture of Localized Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (LCL) caused by L. (L.) mexicana. In this article we identify the ethical issues related to these kinds of studies and propose some guidelines for conducting them.
由于存在着各种社会、经济和政治方面的挑战，职业卫生在发展中国家仍然受到忽视。与通过受感染的沙蝇叮咬而感染利什曼原虫（Leishmania）mexicana 相关的工作场所伦理问题也是一个被忽视的领域。我们在此报告对我们的研究中心在 2003 年至 2006 年期间进行的两项实地昆虫学研究进行审查的结果。邀请我们生物学院的八名学生去捕捉沙蝇。在这八个人中，共有六个人（75%）出现了由 L.（L.）mexicana 引起的局部皮肤利什曼病（LCL）的典型临床症状。在本文中，我们确定了与这类研究相关的伦理问题，并提出了一些进行此类研究的指导方针。
