Opening an epidemiological survey of a focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Thies region (Senegal), the authors present a short historical report on the disease situation in the country. They then describe the ecological characters of the studied area.
The authors describe spontaneous infection of Mastomys erythroleucus and Tatera gambiana by Leishmania strains typed as L. major. They argue the reservoir role to these two species and the one of Arvicanthis niloticus previously found infected. The possible relations between the fluctuations of rodent populations and the incidence of the human disease are then discussed.
