The Leishmaniasis Gap Analysis Report and Action Plan carried out in<br>
Albania, Jordan, and Pakistan during 2015 shows that despite its<br>
worldwide prevalence and disastrous impact on the lives of millions,<br>
leishmaniasis is still very much a growing, neglected disease, mainly<br>
affecting impoverished communities, living in poor conditions, without<br>
adequate access to shelter, healthcare, and medication.<br>
<br>
The full report can be found at<br>
.<<a href="http://www.cordsnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FINAL-Leishmaniasis-Gap-Analysis-Report-and-Action-Plan_30-January-2016.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.cordsnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FINAL-Leishmaniasis-Gap-Analysis-Report-and-Action-Plan_30-January-2016.pdf</a>><br>
<br>
The analysis was carried out by regional disease surveillance networks<br>
SECID/SEEHN [Southeast European Center for Surveillance and Control of<br>
Infectious Diseases/Southeastern Europe Health Network], MECIDS<br>
[Middle East Consortium on Infectious Disease Surveillance], and Pak<br>
One Health supported by CORDS [Connecting Organizations for Regional<br>

[ProMED thanks James Crilly for alerting us to the CORDS Network<br>
report.<br>
<br>
It is well known that Pakistan is endemic for leishmaniasis, and<br>
ProMED has also posted regularly on the increase in the number of<br>
cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in refugees from Syria.<br>
<br>
Leishmaniasis is endemic in Southern Europe including Spain, France,<br>
Italy, The Balkans, Greece, and Turkey, and the report does not<br>
provide new data.<br>
<br>
Detailed background information on leishmaniasis in Albania, Jordan,<br>
Pakistan can be found in<br>
Alvar J et al and the WHO Leishmaniasis Control Team: Leishmaniasis<br>
worldwide and global estimates of its incidence. PLoS One. 2012; 7(5):<br>
e35671. Albania Suppl. 2, Jordan Suppl. 48 and Pakistan Suppl. S70;<br>

<br>
Leishmaniasis is a poverty related disease and one of the countries<br>
with the highest incidence is Afghanistan; a considerable number of<br>
refugees from Afghanistan entering Pakistan has cutaneous<br>
leishmaniasis. - Mod.EP<br>
