Abstract: Abstract Malaria, schistosomiasis and leishmaniasis are three parasitic diseases that cause major public health problems worldwide. Morocco has received World Health Organization certification for the elimination of autochthonous malaria, but there is an increase in imported malaria. The autochthonous schistosomiasis has been eliminated; this condition must be maintained and verified by the World Health Organization. Despite this, Morocco is at risk of a re-emergence of these two diseases due to several factors such as: the persistence of vectors, especially Anopheles labranchiae, population movements, climate change. Finally, leishmaniasis persists; Morocco is taking several actions to stop the epidemic.
