This study was carried out to elucidate situation of CL in Ardabil province and to predict distribution of Phlebotomus papatasi and Phlebotomus sergenti (Diptera: Psychodidae) as vectors of CL in the region. In this cross-sectional study, data on CL patients were collected from local health centers of Ardabil province, Iran during 2006-2018 to establish a geodatabase using ArcGIS10.3. A total of 20 CL cases were selected randomly and skin samples were collected and analyzed by PCR method. MaxEnt 3.3.3 model was used to determine ecologically suitable niches for the main vectors. A total, 309 CL human cases were reported and the highest incidence rate of disease was occurred in Bilasavar (37\/100,000) and Germi (35\/100,000). A total of 2,794 sand flies were collected during May to October 2018. The environmentally suitable habitats for P. papatasi and P. sergenti were predicted to be present in northern and central areas of Ardabil province. The most variable that contributed ratio in the modeling were Isothermality and slope factors. Ardabil province is possibly an endemic are for CL. The presence of P. papatasi and P. sergenti justifies local transmission while the vectors of CL are existing in the northern and central areas of the province.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.2020.58.3.229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,26]],"date-time":"2020-06-26T08:46:08Z","timestamp":1593161168000},"page":"229-236","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3347\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Situation and Predicting the Distribution of Phlebotomus papatasi and P. sergenti as Vectors of Leishmaniasis in Ardabil Province, Iran"],"prefix":"10.3347","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Khamesipour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soheila","family":"Molaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Navid","family":"Babaei-Pouya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eslam","family":"Moradi-Asl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1900","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0035671"},{"key":"ref2","volume-title":""},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Iran and their role on <italic>Leishmania<\/italic> transmission","author":"Yaghoobi-Ershadi","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"429","volume-title":"Control of phlebotomine sand flies in Iran: a review article","author":"Yaghoobi-Ershadi","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"291","volume-title":"A new focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by <italic>Leishmania tropica<\/italic>","author":"Yaghoobi-Ershadi","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"140","volume-title":"Epidemiology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran: B.
