2001年12月至2002年2月，在突尼斯中部凯鲁万省韦斯拉提亚地区的一个小村庄报告了20例皮肤利什曼病（CL）病例，该地区是由利什曼原虫（L.）引起的婴儿内脏利什曼病的地方性疫源地。婴儿和头体是CL以前从未关注过。从两个从未离开过该地区的儿童身上获得的两个分离株的寄生虫分型鉴定为L。阿利茨基本种以前仅在突尼斯东南部的一个有限的焦点中被报道。2002年10月，在突尼斯西南部一个著名的人畜共患皮肤利什曼病疫源地进行的一项寄生虫同工酶特征的流行病学调查也发现了L。阿利茨基这些结果表明该物种的传播，并强调需要进一步调查，以更好地控制CL在突尼斯。
Twenty cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases were notified from December 2001 to February 2002, in a small village in the district of Oueslatia (governorate of Kairouan, central Tunisia) which is an endemic focus of infantile visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (L.) infantum and that hod never been concerned previously by CL. The parasite typing of two isolates obtained from two children that have never left the region has identified L. killicki. This species hod only been reported previously in a limited focus of Tunisian Southeast. In October 2002, an epidemiological survey with isoenzym characterization of the parasite led in a well-known focus of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis of South-West Tunisia also revealed the presence of L. killicki. These results suggest the spread of this species and stress the need of further investigations for a better control of CL in Tunisia.
