What is A Geomedical Survey: Is There an Association Between Climatic Conditions and Leishmania Species Distribution in Iran During the Years 1999–2021? about?
## Purpose Iran is among the high-risk leishmaniasis regions in the world. WHO recommends the use of GIS as an ideal tool for healthcare authorities to predict the evolution of a disease, delimit the risk of outbreaks and identify critical areas. The aim of this research is to find the association between the main species of __Leishmania__ (__L. major__, __L. tropica__, __L. infantum__) dispersion and climatic variables in Iran. ## Methods All molecular-based reports of leishmaniasis from Iran between 1999 and 2021 were gathered from reliable medical sources. Meteorological data (air and soil temperatures, annual rainfall and humidity) of the country along the study period were obtained from the Iranian Climatological Research Centre. The data concerning species distribution and climatic conditions during this period were moved to a base-map through raster layers using ArcGIS 10.4.1 software. The relationship between parasitological and climatic models was examined using ANOVA. ## Results High risk area maps, based on the cut-off thresholds, were generated for __Leishmania major, L. tropica__ and __L. infantum.__ According to the molecular-based reports, the __L. major__ distributi
