Overview

Comprehensive review examines environmental factors and control strategies for zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran, highlighting key challenges.

Key Points

  • Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) affects 15.8 per 100,000 individuals in Iran, with 18 provinces reporting cases.
  • Critical reservoirs like Meriones species and vectors such as Phlebotomus sandflies intensify the spread of ZCL in Iran.
  • Research highlights shifts in ZCL hotspots attributed to climate change, urbanization, and land use patterns across various regions.
  • Effective control strategies informed by epidemiological insights are necessary to mitigate ZCL's rising burden due to changing vector habitats.
