This study aims to define the features of the epidemiological picture of leishmaniasis in Tartous through Safita district in collaboration with the health center of Leishmania in Safita province during the period 2010- 2014.We adopted the recorded data of leishmaniasis cases from the Health center and made statistical analysis to evaluate the relationship of leishmaniasis prevalence with different variables. The results demonstrated increasing in both local and expatriate leishmaniasis cases and presence of carrier vector due to weakness of pest control and anti-insect factors. The emergence of visceral leishmaniasis cases indicates the presence of a new species of previously unknown Leishmania parasite in the region and may be explained by the presence of new species of visceral leishmaniasis vectors, or the impact of population migration during the crisis and lack of security or the entrance of foreigners who carry Leishmania or because of the proliferation of reservoirs especially stray dogs and wild animals.
