Resumo(s)
Leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani represents a major public health concern in Mediterranean countries, with phlebotomine sand flies serving as the primary vectors for the transmission of Leishmania parasites [1]. In Portugal, REVIVE is a national surveillance network operating under the Ministry of Health since 2008, initially targeting mosquitoes, with its scope expanded to include ticks in 2011 and sand flies in 2016.
The primary objectives of REVIVE are to identify the existing species in Portugal, establish which pathogens are circulating among them and provide alerts for prevention and control measures when necessary.
