Abstract

Following the epidemic of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniosis (ZCL) around Ardakan city and Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniosis (ACL) in some old quarters of Yazd city, central IRAN. This study was carried out to determine the animal RESERVOIR HOSTS of the disease during 1998-99. In Mohammadieh rural district on west of Ardakan city, Meriones libycus (42.2%) and Rhombomys opimus (57.8%) were present. Both were found to be infected with Leishmania. Three out of 19 M.libycus (15.7%) and 3 out of 26 R.opimus (11.5%) had positive results. LEISHMANIA MAJOR was isolated from M.libycus by Rapid-PCR for the first time in the study area. Four dogs were also examined and none of them appeared to be infected. Meriones libycus and R.opimus are probably the main RESERVOIR HOSTS of ZCL and play an important role in the epidemiology of the disease in this area. In the city of Yazd, forty-six stray dogs appeared to be uninfected because examination showed no active lesion or scar.
