Abstract

Many areas of Iran are endemic regarding Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) as a parasitic disease transmitted by a female sand fly vector's bite. The present study investigated the distribution of sand flies in Harand and Egieh in Isfahan province, Central Iran. Overall, 408 out of 1260 collected sand flies were identified morphologically, among which 353 and 55 were isolated from Harand and Egieh, respectively. Also, 66.4% and 33.6% of the sand flies were female and male, respectively. The most prevalent sand fly species were Phlebotomus papatasi (52%), followed by Ph. caucasicus (40.4%), Sergentomyia sintoni (4.9%), and Ph. kazeruni (0.7%). Among 180 molecularly-analyzed sand flies, 14 (7.77%) were found infected with L. major, with 9 out of 103 (8.73%) Ph. papatasi and 5 out of 75 (6.66%) Ph. caucasicus.

评估伊朗中部沙蝇的生物多样性和分布情况，并追踪沙蝇中的利什曼原虫。

皮肤利什曼病（CL）是一种由雌性沙蝇媒介叮咬传播的寄生虫病，伊朗许多地区都是该病的流行区。本研究调查了沙蝇在伊朗中部伊斯法罕省哈兰德和埃吉赫的分布情况。在收集到的 1260 只沙蝇中，有 408 只经过形态鉴定，其中 353 只和 55 只分别从哈兰德和埃吉赫分离出来。此外，雌性和雄性沙蝇分别占 66.4% 和 33.6%。最常见的沙蝇种类是 Phlebotomus papatasi（52%），其次是 Ph. caucasicus（40.4%）、Sergentomyia sintoni（4.9%）和 Ph. kazeruni（0.7%）。在 180 只经分子分析的沙蝇中，发现有 14 只（7.77%）感染了 L. major，103 只中有 9 只（8.73%）感染了 Ph. papatasi，75 只中有 5 只（6.66%）感染了 Ph. caucasicus。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
