在突尼斯，高度怀疑白蛉（Larroussius）perfiliewi Parrot，1939与散发性皮肤利什曼病的传播有关。这种白蛉物种的地理分布仅限于突尼斯的北方部分，更具体地说，是湿润、亚湿润和半干旱生物地理区域。到目前为止，P. perfiliewi和随后的散发性皮肤利什曼病的地理分布延伸到位于突尼斯中部的干旱生物地理区域。这一扩展与这些地区灌溉系统的大力发展有关，这可能导致建立一个新的生态位，适合P.perfiliewi的发展。
In Tunisia, Phlebotomus (Larroussius) perfiliewi Parrot, 1939, is highly suspected to be involved in the transmission of sporadic cutaneous leishmaniasis. The geographical distribution of this sandfly species is limited to the northern part of Tunisia and more specifically to the humid, sub-humid and semi-arid bio-geographical areas. To date, the geographical distribution of P. perfiliewi and subsequently of the sporadic cutaneous leishmaniasis extends to the arid bio-geographical areas located in central Tunisia. This extension is related to the intense development of irrigation systems in these areas, which may lead to the establishment of a new ecological niche suitable for the development of P. perfiliewi.
