In Morocco, leishmaniases are a major public health problem due to their genetic diversity and geographical distribution. Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. tropica is endemic in the center of the country; it has a high risk of transmission, with Phlebotomus sergenti as vector. This study aimed to identify the vectors of Leishmania and the epidemiological trends of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Afourer, Morocco. The entomological study used both adhesive and CDC miniature light trap to capture six different species: P. sergenti (50.21 %), P. papatasi (18.45 %), P. longicuspis (17.17 %), P. perniciosus (12.02 %), S. minuta (1.93 %) and P. chabaudi (0.21 %). The life cycle of sand flies in this area is characterized by a biphasic trend with two activity peaks, in May and November. Hence, the highest transmission levels are likely to occur from early summer to the end of autumn. However, the epidemiological status of leishmaniasis in Afourer between 2009-2013 showed a significant decreasing trend - of 87.7 %.
在摩洛哥，利什曼病因其遗传多样性和地理分布而成为一个重大的公共卫生问题。由热带利什曼原虫引起的皮肤利什曼病在该国中部流行；传播风险很高，以塞氏白蛉为传播媒介。本研究旨在确定摩洛哥阿富勒尔地区利什曼原虫的传播媒介以及皮肤利什曼病的流行病学趋势。昆虫学研究使用粘性诱捕器和疾控中心微型诱虫灯捕获了六种不同的物种：塞氏白蛉（50.21%）、巴氏白蛉（18.45%）、长角白蛉（17.17%）、有害白蛉（12.02%）、微小司蛉（1.93%）和夏氏白蛉（0.21%）。该地区白蛉的生命周期呈现双相趋势，有两个活动高峰，分别在5月和11月。因此，最高传播水平可能出现在初夏至秋末。然而，2009年至2013年期间阿富勒尔地区利什曼病的流行病学状况呈现出显著下降趋势，降幅达87.7%。
