| dc.description | it was found that the prevalence of the disease is noticeably high, and the incidence of males is 40% and females are 60%. By comparing the molecular diagnosis, it was found that 30% of the cases were PCR positive from the original 40 clinically diagnosed cases. Four types of sandflies were identified with various percentages (17.33%) P. papatasi, (81.2%) S. minuta, (1.06%) P. sergenti and (0.4%) S. fallax. They were all described in a taxonomic key supported by real pictures. The combined percentage of P. papatasi was (17.33%). It was found that P. papatasi was infected with leishmaniasis (4%), which was considered as a suspected vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the region. | |
