| remote sensing, land cover changes, and vector-borne diseases: use of high spatial resolution satellite imagery to map the risk of occurrence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in ghardaïa, algeria. | ghardaïa, central algeria, experienced a major outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in 2005. two leishmania species occur in this region: leishmania major (mon-25) and leishmania killicki (mon-301). the two species are transmitted respectively by the sandflies phlebotomus papatasi and phlebotomus sergenti and probably involve rodent reservoirs with different ecologies, suggesting distinct epidemiological patterns and distribution areas. the aims of this study were to establish risk maps for ... | 2014 | 25305006 |
| phlebotomus sergenti (parrot, 1917) identified as leishmania killicki host in gharda+»a, south algeria. | since 2005, an outbreak of human cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in gharda+»a, south algeria, was studied and one output of these investigations was the identification of two leishmania species, leishmania major and leishmania killicki, as the cl causative agents. in the present study, we were curious to focus on sand fly fauna present in this area and detection of leishmania-positive sand fly females. sand flies (3717) were collected during two seasons using sticky papers and cdc light traps in ur ... | 2011 | 21382502 |
