| cutaneous leishmaniasis: an emerging epidemic focus of leishmania tropica in north morocco. | cutaneous leishmaniasis in morocco occurs mainly in the south and is caused by leishmania major and l. tropica. in 1995, for the first time, 4 autochthonous cases were confirmed by smear and/or culture from the province of taza in north morocco. an active survey revealed 128 more cases. the number had increased gradually since 1994. most of the cases (86%) came from the suburbs of the city of taza. all cultured and typed parasites were characterized as l. tropica mon-102. a leishmanin skin test ... | 1997 | 9509172 |
| epidemiological profile of cutaneous leishmaniasis in morocco, 2004-2013. | the main objective of our study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the situation of cutaneous leishmaniasis in morocco. we therefore conducted a retrospective descriptive study covering the decade 2004-2013. data were collected from the moroccan ministry of health's annual reports about the national program against leishmaniasis. these data show a regression in the cases due to leishmania major and the persistence of l. tropica transmission. mapping cutaneous leishmaniasis cases reported ... | 2017 | 28406415 |
| regional genetic differentiation of phlebotomus sergenti in three moroccan foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica. | phlebotomus sergenti was identified morphologically in samples from three moroccan foci of leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica in the provinces of azilal, essaouira and taza. three primary mitochondrial dna lineages were identified, and they could be markers for regionally distributed cryptic species. greater mitochondrial diversity in azilal indicated that this central province could have been the origin of dispersal of p. sergenti or the zone of secondary contact. all except one of the ... | 2004 | 15224581 |

| [leishmania tropica cutaneous leishmaniasis in an emerging focus in north morocco: new clinical forms]. | leishmania tropica cutaneous leishmaniasis is usually described as dry, small and self-healing lesions, mainly located on the face and occurring in stable endemic foci. in 1989, similar aspects were observed in a rural hypoendemic focus in center morocco where about 60 cases were diagnosed. in contrast, an epidemic urban focus in taza-north morocco--was identified in 1995 with peculiar clinical aspects. our objectives is to describe these clinical characteristics. | 1999 | 10434105 |
| faunistic study of the sandflies (diptera: psychodidae) in an emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in al haouz province, morocco. | the moroccan province of al haouz is an emerging focus of human cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica. in an entomological investigation of three communes in the province (ourika, stti fatma and rhmate), 3440 sandflies were collected on sticky traps in 2005-2007. of the six phlebotomus species caught, phlebotomus papatasi (13.3% of the total collection), p. sergenti (12.8%) and p. perniciosus (12.8%) were predominant, followed by p. longicuspis (7.9%), p. ariasi (2.6%) and p. alex ... | 2009 | 19173778 |
