摘要：
A sero-epidemiological survey of school children was carried out in Kousseri, a focus for visceral leishmaniasis. Sero-immunological assays for the detection of anti-Leishmania antibodies were based on the indirect immunofluorescence assay test and counter-immunoelectrophoresis. 9 out of 223 school children tested positive for visceral leishmaniasis (seroprevalence rate of 4%), These 9 cases had no history of the disease. The data obtained confirm the endemicity of visceral leishmaniasis in this focus and call for extensive studies in order to determine the prevalence of the disease in the entire population as well as the main components of the transmission cycle.
