First Molecular Epidemiological Study of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Libya

19 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major public health problem in Libya. The objective of this study was to investigate, for the first time, epidemiological features of CL outbreaks in Libya including molecular identification of parasites, the geographical distribution of cases and possible scenarios of parasite transmission. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We studied 450 patients that came from 49...
