[Epidemiology of leishmaniasis in Algeria. 4. The phlebotomi (Diptera, Psychodidae) of tje Aurès region].
Following their epidemiological studies of leishmaniasis in Algeria, the authors report the results of an entomological survey in the Aurès region. They point out the presence in this region of three common vectors of leishmaniasis: two species (Phlebotomus papatasi and P. sergenti) for the cutaneous form, and a third one (P. perniciosus) for the visceral form. Thus, the Aurès region appears to be a potential focus of leishmaniasis.
