First report of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani in Ethiopia

2023-07-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Leishmaniasis is a common neglected tropical disease in Ethiopia. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania donovani presents in the lowlands, while cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) affects people living in the highlands. Although CL is described to be caused by L. aethiopica , there is also evidence of L. tropica and L. major isolated from a patient, sand flies and potential reservoirs. I...
