The wheelchair is one of the most common technique use to improve mobility of person with reduced mobility, it helps them to become more productive members in their communities. These wheelchairs are usually recharged via the standard power grid where they require two rechargeable batteries of 12 volts.The main idea of this work is to create a wheelchair totally powered by solar energy using a photovoltaic system in order to charge the batteries and extends the autonomy of the wheelchair.

Background: HIV/AIDS is frequently associated with opportunistic diseases such as leishmaniasis. Hence, the co-infection HIV-Leishmania spp. is the result of the geographical overlap between leishmaniasis and HIV/AIDS cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the spatial distribution of HIV-Leishmaniasis co-infection in Morocco where both infections are endemic. Methods: In the current study, we discuss the HIV-Leishmania spp. co-infection vulnerability in Morocco by using the cartography tools. Thus, epidemiological data of both infections (Leishmaniasis and HIV/AIDS) in different administrative regions of Morocco were collected and co-registered for Digital maps making. Results & conclusion: The results showed a high risk of HIV-Leishmania infantum co-infection in northern and central regions in Morocco. These results should be taken into account for efficient control strategies and epidemiological surveillance of HIV –Leishmania spp. co-infection in Morocco.
