“…Although L. tropica remains the predominant causative agent in these cases, CL cases caused by L. major and L. infantum have also been reported in recent years. [14][15][16][17][18] It is known that in the region, there are vectors such as Phlebotomus sergenti (the vector of L. tropica), P. papatasi (the vector of L. major) and P. perfiliewi (which could transmit L. infantum). [19][20][21] Leishmaniasis is linked to human behavioral patterns, urbanisation, and environmental changes caused by both human activities and natural disasters.…”

The transmission of vector-borne infections after an earthquake is related to the changes in the environment caused by the earthquake. The displacement of thousands of people, especially in areas where vector-borne diseases are endemic, can significantly increase human exposure to mosquitoes and other vectors and the pathogens they may carry in overcrowded environments and inappropriate temporary shelters, leading to an increase in human infection cases. The devastating earthquakes in Türkiye on 6 February 2023 pose a risk of the spread and outbreaks of vector-borne infections such as cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and malaria, which are endemic in the region. Public health authorities should prioritise surveillance in all earthquake-affected areas. Immediate detection and identification of local vector species, monitor environmental conditions and potential breeding grounds, insecticide application and use of mosquito nets and development of interventions to prevent the emergence of vector-borne infections are essential. Case diagnosis and treatment follow-up, prophylaxis, training of the public and health personnel, improving temporary shelter conditions and facilitating access to clean drinking water and health services are essential to minimise the impact of vector-borne infections in post-earthquake situations.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne disease characterized by skin lesions healing with an atrophic scar. Istanbul is a high risk province for CL due to internal and international immigrants. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of CL cases in Istanbul. In this descriptive study, we evaluated the Cutaneous leishmaniasis cases in Istanbul between June 1 st , 2014 and May 31 st , 2015. The ethics committee and instutional permissions were received. Frequency analysis were used for data analysis. The study was carried out with 197 CL cases. Percentage of patients under 18 years old was 52%. Seventy seven percent of cases were Syrian and most of them had no passports. Household avarage number was six. Percentage of individuals with a CL lesion at household in the last year was 23%. Sixteen percent of cases reported a recent visit to Southeastern Anatolia and 55% of them reported that the lesions appeared after the visit. About half of cases had more than one lesion. Face (43.7%) was the most commonly affected. The lesions of 74 cases (38%) appeared before living in Istanbul. Health Directorates of the districts where Syrian immigrants live in Istanbul should screen Syrian immigrants in terms of CL periodically. Also improving living conditions, drying of stagnant water areas, use of mosquito nets, wearing long-sleeved clothes, diagnosis and effective treatment of CL are recommended methods for CL control.
