Among the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean region, Iran bears a disproportionate burden of this neglected tropical disease, with 18 out of its 31 provinces affected. ZCL is especially prevalent in rural and semiurban areas, where ecological and environmental factors create suitable conditions for disease transmission. Rodent reservoirs, particularly Meriones species, and specific vectors, such as\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Phlebotomus<\/jats:italic>\n                    sandflies, play critical roles in the epidemiology of ZCL in Iran. Recent studies have highlighted dynamic changes in the distribution of ZCL in Iran, with newly identified hotspots in regions such as Beyza district (Fars province), Isfahan, and Razavi Khorasan. These shifts are attributed to climate change, urbanization, and altered land use patterns, which influence vector habitats and reservoir dynamics. Notably, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the spread of ZCL, redirecting health priorities and increasing the vulnerability of already high-risk areas. The interplay between these ecological factors underscores the importance of understanding localized transmission patterns. Despite the growing prevalence of ZCL, research remains limited in its focus on epidemiological aspects specific to Iran. This review aims to address this gap by examining the geographic distribution, reservoirs, vectors, and ecological drivers of ZCL within Iran. By identifying high-risk provinces and emerging trends, such as those in Fars, Isfahan, and Razavi Khorasan, this study provides a foundation for designing targeted control strategies. Effective interventions, informed by these findings, are crucial in mitigating the future burden of ZCL, particularly as vector habitats are expected to expand due to climatic changes.\n
