“…P. papatasi was incriminated as a vector for CL during the epidemics in central and northern Sudan (where P. orientalis is absent) in 1976–78 ( Abdalla & Sherif 1978). Earlier studies had indicated that P. papatasi is not a suitable vector for L. donovani ( Hoogstraal & Heyneman 1969).…”

“…CL patients mainly come from Darfur and the central belt of Sudan ( Abdalla et al . 1973 ; Abdalla & Sherif 1978). So far, three outbreaks of CL have been reported: the first started in 1976–77 in the region of Shendi‐Atbara north of Khartoum, the second in 1985 in and around El‐Gerrsa in the White Nile area, and the last major epidemic took place in Khartoum Province with about 10 000 recorded cases in 1985–87.…”

SummaryThe literature on the leishmaniases in the Sudan is reviewed with an emphasis on clinical aspects and on literature related to the recent outbreaks in the south and east of the country.The numbers of cases of subclinical infection and post-kala azar dermal leishmaniasis in the recent outbreaks are remarkable. New diagnostic techniques have been introduced and evaluated, notably the direct agglutination test and polymerase chain reaction technology.The latter gives very promising results and further research into application of the technique is warranted.Treatment with pentavalent antimony is still satisfactory.The reservoir host has not been identified definitely.
