Following an epidemiological survey of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniosis
(ZCL) in some villages of Badrood, a rural district north of the city of Natanz,
central Iran, Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus ) papatasi Scopoli were found to be naturally
infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) major zymodeme MON-26. Sandflies
were collected and dissected biweekly from rodent burrows during sandfly season,
April- October 1998. Leptomonad infection rates varied between 6.7-22.0%
during sandfly season, being greatest in September, coinciding with peak activity
of P papatasi, 2-3 months before the highest incidence of ZCL human cases in
November-December. Leptomonad infection rate was 1.1 % in 94 P papatasi
