(JSI) as institutional contractor. For further defails, the reader is referred to other project documents, of which an exhaustive bibliography is provided in Annex 2. The drafting of the final report of the FPIMCH Phase V Project, as well as the project itself, are the result of a team effort. It is in this sense therefore that the use of the word "we" in this report should be understood. First of all, I should like to thank, on behalf of the JSI team, my colleagues of the Ministry of Health (MOH) who gave body and soul to the Prpjed and, especially, Dr. Mostafa Tyane, Director of Population, who was the Project coordinator. I should also like to thank the USAlD team, under the direction of Michele Moloney-Kitts and Susan Wright, who provided technical, administrative and moral support throughout the project. Lastly, neither the implementation of the FPIMCH Phase V Project nor the drafting of this document could have been possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of the JSI team and the sub-contractors, of whom I am only the representative. Annex 4 provides a list of the main collaborators. For the editing and formatting of this document, I wish to thank Taoufik Bakkali, Nawal Birdaha and Boutaina El Omari in Rabat, and Stacey Harrison and Emily Alfeld in Boston.

Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In Morocco, Leishmania infantum species is the main causative agents of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). However, cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) due to L. infantum has been reported sporadically. Moreover, the recent geographical expansion of L. infantum in the Mediterranean subregion leads us to suggest whether the nonsporadic cases of CL due to this species are present. In this context, this review is written to establish a retrospective study of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in northern Morocco between 1997 and 2018 and also to conduct a molecular study to identify the circulating species responsible for the recent cases of leishmaniases in this region.

  • MOROCCO Morocco Is a Monarchy with a Constitution, an Elected
    MOROCCO Morocco is a monarchy with a constitution, an elected parliament, and a population of approximately 34 million. According to the constitution, ultimate authority rests with King Mohammed VI, who presides over the Council of Ministers and appoints or approves members of the government. The king may dismiss ministers, dissolve parliament, call for new elections, and rule by decree. In the bicameral legislature, the lower house may dissolve the government through a vote of no confidence. The 2007 multiparty parliamentary elections for the lower house went smoothly and were marked by transparency and professionalism. International observers judged that those elections were relatively free from government- sponsored irregularities. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Citizens did not have the right to change the constitutional provisions establishing the country's monarchical form of government or those designating Islam the state religion. There were reports of torture and other abuses by various branches of the security forces. Prison conditions remained below international standards. Reports of arbitrary arrests, incommunicado detentions, and police and security force impunity continued. Politics, as well as corruption and inefficiency, influenced the judiciary, which was not fully independent. The government restricted press freedoms. Corruption was a serious problem in all branches of government. Child labor, particularly in the unregulated informal sector, and trafficking in persons remained problems. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed any politically motivated killings; however, there were reports of deaths in police custody.
