...Finding variations in L. major and assessing the density of these parasites can be of practical value and experimental evidence for the epidemiological surveillance and control of leishmaniasis in humans, hosts and vectors in Iran (Ready & Rogers 2012; Ready 2013). mania (Motazedian et al. 1996; kazemi et al. 2010) in Turkmen Sahra region and other places in Iran, but in this study, Sauroleishmania was not found....

...It is conceivable that had we put more purposeful efforts into investigating of Sergentomyia sintoni species, and the parasites might have appeared as Sauroleishmania; however, in our previous study, we searched for Leishmania parasite in Sergentomyia sand fly species but found none (Parvizi & Amirkhani 2008; Parvizi & Ready 2008)....
