Leishmaniasis in Homs: 1,092 cases and ongoing control efforts

Leishmaniasis is a endemic health issue in Homs, with the governorate recording around 1,092 cases by the end of 2025. The disease is transmitted through the bite of sandflies and primarily spreads in rural areas, especially in the eastern and northern countryside of Homs. This is due to deteriorating sanitation, waste accumulation, and infrastructure destruction, which create a suitable environment for the proliferation of insects. Controlling the disease requires early detection, immediate treatment, improvement of environmental conditions, and the fight against factors that facilitate its spread.
