A mathematical model is used to calculate risk of exposure to Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL). Farmers in the El Hichria (Tunisia) irrigated perimeter (IP) use water distributed by surface canals. In the Ouled Mhamed IP, underground pressurized water pipes bring water to irrigation terminals. The farmers are exposed to the risk of contact with the Phlebotomus papatasi, a vector of ZCL, of 0.25 on a scale of 1, associated with irrigation.Text1 digital file (5 p. : ill.)application/pdfenLEISHMANIOSE CUTANEE ZOONOTIQUEPHLEBOTOMESAGRICULTEURSRISQUELEISHMANIASISFARMERSZOONOTIC DISEASESDISEASE VECTORSTUNISIANORTH OF SAHARAIRRIGATION SYSTEMSWATER MANAGEMENTConference Paper
