Abstract: (107 Views)
Introduction: The prevalence and spread of the prevailing diseases, including the cutaneous leishmaniosis, is affected by ecological factors in addition to economic, social and cultural issues. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of climatic factors on the incidence of urban and rural cutaneous leishmaniosis in Kerman and Arzooieh in 2015-2019.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study which was performed on all patients with the definitive diagnosis of urban cutaneous leishmaniosis living in Sarasiab area of Kerman, and the rural type living in Arzooieh who referred to leishmaniosis treatment centers; From the second half of 2015 to the end of 2019. They were included in the study using the census method.
Results: A total of 332 patients with cutaneous leishmaniosis participated in the study. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean and deviation from the standard of patients in each season of the year in Sarasiab area of the city (p<0.05). Moreover, in the head mill area of Kerman province a statistically significant difference was observed between temperature, precipitation and wind speed, monthly with a delay of 4 months and the rate of infection per million people (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that only in the urban type of leishmaniosis, there was a significant relationship between climatic factors and disease. Therefore, considering the seasons, studying all climatic factors simultaneously and with a delay of several months, the geographical distribution of the disease from different epidemiological and ecological aspects can be effective in reducing and controlling the disease.
