The leishmaniases are zoonoses caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania transmitted to humans by the bite of a female
sucking insect called sandfly.
The cutaneous form is the most common, this condition has recognized a remarkable spread in the province of Khenchla.
This study aims to treat the results of census of leishmaniasis cases in the region of Khenchela,
spread over a period (2006-2O11) from Department of Epidemiology of the DDS. Our results show that the LC is a relatively
common among men, especially young adults in particular (20 and 44). Cutaneous leishmaniasis, although not an epidemic in
the northern province of Khenchela because the reported cases come through it: travelers, tourists, or many cases come to health
care. But it's an epidemic in the south of the province. This area, in effect, an favorable environmental medium for the
proliferation of reservoirs and vectors.
