Surveillance of <i>Leishmania</i> spp., Assessment in Sand Flies and Rodents, and Intervention Measures Using Drones During an Outbreak of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Southern Israel

Significant reductions in <i>Leishmania</i> infection were observed in vectors, reservoirs, and humans following the intervention. Although CL dynamics are influenced by multiple factors, these findings support the potential of drone-based and host-targeted approaches for integrated leishmaniasis control. Further studies are required to validate and optimize such technologies.
