| Résumé : |
Leishmaniases are among the most neglected vector-borne diseases, infecting humans as well various animal hosts with clinical outcomes varying from cutaneous disorders to visceral and life-threatening disease. A retrospective study on cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Batna province was carried out with the aim of evaluating the current epidemiological situation of the disease in this region. Furthermore, a study on environmental factors that may affect the spatial distribution of the disease was carried out using the geographic information system (GIS) tool. Data were obtained from the "Direction of Health and Population of Batna" and then were analysed using Microsoft Office Excel 2021 and SPSS.21, while ArcGIS 10.8 software was used for mapping notified cases and studying some environmental factors. A total of 6365 cases were notified, with a peak incidence of 1518 cases in 2017. The annual evolution of the disease showed decreasing and increasing trends during the study period. Cases were detected year-round, with a peak notification in winter (2992 cases; 53.10%) and in December (1525 cases). CL affects both genders and all age groups with predominance for males (3385 cases; 57.72%) and infants less than 9 years old (3601; 61.4%). Spatial and spatiotemporal analysis showed a high endemicity of the disease in areas located in the west of the province. The higher number of cases was recorded in the municipality of Barika with 1925 cases (29.83%), followed by Abdelkader Azil (1272; 19.71%), Bitam (861; 13.34%), Djezzar (726; 11.25%), Ouled Ammar (523; 8.1%), and M'doukal (278; 4.31%) municipalities. The study of the impact of environmental factors revealed a high CL incidence in regions where the altitude is < 800 m, the normalized difference vegetation index is 0.02 to 0.15, a slope of <4°, an average annual temperature of >16.78°C, a land surface temperature of >40°C, a relative humidity of <53.48% and an annual precipitation of <250 mm. |
