Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is prevalent in northern Ethiopia, yet little is known about its transmission dynamics, highlighting the need for ecological and behavioral studies of its vectors, particularly sand flies.*
-
- Research in 2021 involved collecting sand flies from rural Gindmeteaye and urban Addis-Alem throughout different seasons, revealing seasonal variations in their locations and blood-feeding behaviors.*
-
- Results indicated that female sand flies were more abundant during the dry season outdoors, while indoor captures peaked in the wet season; the highest infection rates were found in caves, emphasizing the need for further investigation into transmission patterns.*
