The areas of endemicity now include the islands, the Adriatic coast, especially Abruzzi e Molise, and focal areas on the Tyrrhenian coast from Calabria to Liguria. Cases have also been seen in the Valle Padana in northern Italy. Exhaustive studies of the fauna and flora have been conducted in the endemic regions, especially for the purpose of differentiating vectors and hosts of cutaneous leishmaniasis from those of the visceral form. <jats:italic>Phlebotomus perfiliewi<\/jats:italic> predominates in regions in which there is a high incidence of cutaneous leshmaniasis, and is its probable vector, whereas <jats:italic>Phlebotomus perniciosas<\/jats:italic> is the vector of leishmaniasis infantum in the endemic foci of kala\u2010azar. Some other problems, such as the epidemiology of the vectors, the natural reservoirs and the symptomatology have also been briefly reviewed. Statistics gathered from 1941 to 1961 at the Istituto Dermopatico dell'Immacolata of Rome are presented to prove the value of the prophylactic program carried out in various regions. A first study showed the incidence clearly rising from 1946 to 1948. Numerous new foci were found in the provinces of Terni, Viterbo and Roma. The various characteristics of these regions and the different clinical manifestations were studied. A second report covering the decade from 1946 to 1956 disclosed a second era and clearly showed the beneficial results of prophylaxis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The paper concludes with a review of the years from 1957 to 1961, which shows the continuing reduction in the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and its obstinate persistence at a low level in certain areas; its atypia with regard to the morphology of present\u2010day lesions, at least in cases seen in a dermatology center in Rome; the efficacy of the program, particularly in children, and the effectiveness of current therapy.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We may look forward to the eradication of this disease through an all\u2010out prophylactic effort coupled with better knowledge of the dermatosis and continuing improvement in the sanitary and living standards of the agricultural population in Italy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.1963.2.1.20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,1]],"date-time":"2017-03-01T14:26:23Z","timestamp":1488378383000},"page":"20-26","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Current Status of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Italy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Rino","family":"Cavalieri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,22]]},"container-title":["International Journal of Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fijd.1963.2.1.20","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fijd.1963.2.1.20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/ijd.1963.2.1.20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T12:19:04Z","timestamp":1697631544000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/ijd.1963.2.1.20"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1963,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1963,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/ijd.1963.2.1.20"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/ijd.1963.2.1.20","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0011-9059","1365-4632"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0011-9059","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-4632","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1963,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2007-06-22","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
