PCR Positivity of Gerbils and Their Ectoparasites for Leishmania Spp. in a Hyperendemic Focus of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Central Iran

Background: Various arthropods, including Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ctenocephalides felis felis have been sug­gested as secondary vectors of Leishmania spp. many years ago.
