Abstract
In this article is considered the data of species composition of pathogens of skin and visceral leishmaniasis in the South of Kazakhstan. The research results are shown that the studies within the stationary conditions landscapes differ by all indications, determining the intensity of epizootic: contamination of great gerbils, the nature of mosquito species complexes and their abundance on promastigots infected mosquitoes. Considering the above, there is basis to assume existence on the studied by us territory of the independent natural centers or well shown morphological shares of the natural centers of zoonotic skin leishmaniasis which, most likely are dated for the certain studied landscape.
Highlights
There are two species of a parasite of Trypanosomatidae family gained distribution in Central Asia as well in the natural centers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
This parasite is the activator of visceral leishmaniasis, other Leishmania major which proves as the activator of zoonotic skin leishmaniasis [1]
In Kazakhstan visceral leishmaniasis cases generally were registered in the floodplain of the Syr-Darya River in Kyzylorda region where the natural source of the activator – Canisaureus L and Vulpescorsac, and carrier Phlebotomussmirnovi has been established
Summary
About 30 years ago the Institute’s scientists of medical parasitology and tropical medicine named after E.I. Martsinovsky conducted applied researches on studying of the centers visceral in the territory of Central Asia, including Kazakhstan and Transcaucasia. In Kazakhstan visceral leishmaniasis cases generally were registered in the floodplain of the Syr-Darya River in Kyzylorda region where the natural source of the activator – Canisaureus L and Vulpescorsac, and carrier Phlebotomussmirnovi has been established. The synanthropic centers of visceral leishmaniasis which were registered earlier in the cities of Zhambyl (nowadays Taraz) and Shymkent where dogs were probable sources of infection, and P. longiductus carrier, were not active. In the present time the researches on this subject in Kazakhstan are not conducted, human cases skin and visceral and cases of lethal outcome (generally children) from the visceral are only registered
