  abstract = {{L}eishmaniasis is considered a rural disease in {E}urope. {H}owever, circumstantial evidence has indicated urban transmission of leishmaniasis and phleboviruses in the urban area of {M}arseille, {F}rance. {T}o investigate this urban transmission, sandflies were trapped in 33 locations in the urban area (horse farms, public gardens and a residential area). {S}andflies were always captured: 87.8% were {P}hlebotomus perniciosus, a vector of {L}eishmania infantum and {T}oscana and {M}assilia viruses. {RT}-{PCR} and cell culture inoculation identified the {M}assilia virus in 2/99 pools of sandflies, and {PCR} identified {L}eishmania in 5/99. {N}o dual infection was observed, but both pathogens were detected in samples from the same trapping site.},
