Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic vector disease transmitted by a dipteran insect bite, the sandfly. This still poses a public health problem in Algeria and in many countries. It is a widespread pathology that develops in sporadic or endemic form. In order to assess the epidemiological situation of this disease in the Djelfa region and to determine the influence of the factors of variation and to estimate the risk on public health, a study was extended from January 2018 to May 2018. The results showed that the number of cases of human cutaneous leishmaniasis was 249 cases with an average of 49.8 ± 37.18 cases (20.00 ± 14.93%). The highest rate of this condition was observed during the month of January (37.75%) and the disease is strongly negatively correlated with mean monthly temperature (r = -0.87, R2 = 0.75). ). Statistical analysis has shown that the incidence of the disease is highly dependent on months (P <0.001). Our results showed that the disease mainly affects men (57.83%) than women (42.17%). The pathology is better related to sex (P <0.05). In parallel, the distribution of results by age shows that patients aged between 20 and 50 years are the most affected by the disease (42.17%). In addition, residents of Ain Oussera commune are more affected by the disease (22.09%). These results testify to the real risk posed by human involvement with cutaneous leishmaniasis in this region of Algeria and the need for vector and reservoir recognition, and to implement a program of extension and control in this region according to epidemiological aspects of the disease.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic vector disease transmitted by a dipteran insect bite, the sandfly. This still poses a public health problem in Algeria and in many countries. It is a widespread pathology that develops in sporadic or endemic form. In order to assess the epidemiological situation of this disease in the Djelfa region and to determine the influence of the factors of variation and to estimate the risk on public health, a study was extended from January 2018 to May 2018. The results showed that the number of cases of human cutaneous leishmaniasis was 249 cases with an average of 49.8 ± 37.18 cases (20.00 ± 14.93%). The highest rate of this condition was observed during the month of January (37.75%) and the disease is strongly negatively correlated with mean monthly temperature (r = -0.87, R2 = 0.75). ). Statistical analysis has shown that the incidence of the disease is highly dependent on months (P <0.001). Our results showed that the disease mainly affects men (57.83%) than women (42.17%). The pathology is better related to sex (P <0.05). In parallel, the distribution of results by age shows that patients aged between 20 and 50 years are the most affected by the disease (42.17%).

Abstract: (french)
La leishmaniose cutanée est une maladie parasitaire vectorielle transmise par une piqûre d'insecte diptère, le phlébotome. Cela pose toujours un problème de santé publique en Algérie et dans de nombreux pays. C'est une pathologie répandue qui se développe sous forme sporadique ou endémique. En vue d’apprécier la situation épidémiologique de cette maladie dans la région de Djelfa et de déterminer l’influence des facteurs de variation et d’estimer le risque sur la santé publique, une étude a été étendue de janvier 2018 au mai 2018. Les résultats ont montré que le nombre de cas de leishmaniose cutané humaine était de 249 cas avec une moyenne de 49,8±37,18 cas (20,00±14,93 %). Le taux le plus élevé de cette pathologie a été observé durant le mois de janvier (37,75 %).De plus, la maladie est fortement corrélée négativement avec la température mensuelle moyenne (r = -0,87, R2 = 0,75). L’analyse statistique a mis en évidence que l’incidence de la maladie dépend grandement des mois (P < 0,001). Nos résultats ont montré que la maladie frappe principalement les hommes (57,83 %) que les femmes (42,17 %). La pathologie est mieux liée au sexe (P < 0,05). En parallèle, la répartition des résultats selon l’âge montre que les patients âgés entre 20 et 50 ans sont les plus touchés par la maladie (42,17 %). De plus, les habitants de la commune d’Ain Oussera sont plus atteints par la maladie (22,09 %). Ces résultats témoignent du réel risque que représente l’atteinte humaine par la leishmaniose cutanée dans cette région d’Algérie et la nécessité de reconnaissance du vecteur et du réservoir, et de mettre en œuvre un programme de vulgarisation et de contrôle dans cette région en fonction des aspects épidémiologiques de la maladie.
