Baetis rifensissp. nov. is the first representative of the Baetis fuscatus group to be described from the Maghreb. It was collected from streams in the Rif region of northern Morocco. All species of the B. fuscatus group are morphologically very similar, with slight differences in colour. Thus, in addition to morphological description, species delimitation based on genetic evidence was carried out. The new species was compared with other members of the B. fuscatus group from the Palaearctic region.

“…This study showed that the endemicity of CL has been changed during the time due to improvement in surveillance system as well as increasing the real cases. 12 Spreading the leishmaniasis due to globalization and travelling to the endemic regions is an increasing concern. One of the great problems is barriers against treatment and diagnosis as well as access to antileishmania drugs.…”

Iran is considered as one of the most important endemic foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) worldwide. Recently, sporadic cases of CL have been reported in some parts of Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. This study aims to determine the clinical and epidemiological aspects of CL, for the first time, in this area. Methods: All CL cases registered during 2009-2016 were entered into this descriptive study. Required data was collected from the portal of surveillance system in excel format and entered into SPSS Version 16 software and described as percent frequency, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum. The analysis was performed using Chi square and independent T tests. Results: During 2009-2016, 343 subjects were entered into the study. Among investigated patients, 72.6% were male and 87.8% had history of travelling. Mean age of patients was 30.7 years and 21.6% of whom were reported in November while 18.4% were identified in October. The lesions were found in upper limb (39.7%), lower limb (25.7%) and face (6.4%). Of them, 37.3% had one lesion and 22.4% had two lesions. There were no significant difference in the mean age of men and women (p = 0.648) as well as number of lesions in both genders (p = 0.190). Conclusion: Our results showed that the most CL cases in the studied area were aged 15-44 most of which had history of recent travelling to endemic areas. According to this study, Mazandaran is not considered as a CL endemic focus and most identified cases were affected following travel to the known endemic Iranian foci of CL.

“…In fact, The World Health Organization (WHO) considers leishmaniasis to be one of the most serious parasitic diseases including Morocco because of the global warming [1,2]. In Morocco, major leshmaniasis, tropica and infantum are prevalent and are very common [2]. Among the problems reported in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniosis are difficulty in determining clinical diagnosis due to lack of access tomicroscopy onmany basic health services [3]; the serious side effects of pentavalent antimonial drugs and the variability of the efficacy against the different forms of Leishmania [3], making drugs and medical attention an expensive treatment because of the side effects [3]; besides, there have also been reports of patients not responding to drugs due to drug resistance or increased immunosuppression [3].…”

This was a 43-year-old patient from the north of Morocco who has been followed for ulcerative colitis for 4 years under INFLIXIMAB and AZATHIOPRINE. For the last year and a half, he has had a pruriginous and slightly painful crusted lesion of centrifugal evolution of the right ear. He had benefited from a cutaneous biopsy in favor of Pyoderma gangrenosum. The patient was on oral and injectable corticosteroids, antibiotics and local care with no improvement. The evolution was marked by the installation of a perch chondritis and the appearance of
