The Egyptian mongoose (''Herpestes ichneumon''), also known as the ichneumon, is a species of mongoose. It may be a reservoir host for visceral leishmaniasis in Sudan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''The Egyptian mongoose, Herpestes ichneumon, is a possible reservoir host of visceral leishmaniasis in eastern Sudan'' )〕 ==Range and habitat== This mongoose can be found in Egypt, Spain, Portugal, Israel, and most of sub-Saharan Africa, except for central Democratic Republic of the Congo, western South Africa, and Namibia. It has been introduced to Madagascar, Portugal, Spain and Italy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Animal Diversity Web: Herpestes ichneumon )〕〔http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/41613/0〕 In Europe, it occurs mostly in the Iberian Peninsula, where it would have been introduced during the Arab occupation (which lasted, in whole, from 711 AD through 1492 AD, though more markedly in certain Southern areas). The Arabs may have imported this mongoose, and probably also the genet (Genetta genetta), to hunt rats. Some individuals, escaping captivity, would have become feral. It is known as "meloncillo" in Spanish and "sacarrabos" in Portuguese. It prefers to live in forests, savanna, or scrub, but never far from water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blue Planet Biomes )〕
