Recent news headlines claimed that corpses thrown into Syrian streets are causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) outbreaks. However, leishmaniasis is only transmitted by blood-feeding sandflies, not through human remains. High CL prevalence in Syria may instead be attributed to the absence of disease control programs due to the disruption of health services.
近期新闻头条称，被扔在叙利亚街头的尸体引发了皮肤利什曼病（CL）疫情。然而，利什曼病仅通过吸食血液的白蛉传播，而非通过人类遗体传播。叙利亚CL的高流行率反而可能归因于卫生服务中断导致疾病控制项目缺失。
