Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Tunisia: presence of Leishmania killicki outside its original focus of Tataouine

N Haouas et al. Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

The first three documented cases of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania killicki are reported from locations outside the original focus of Tataouine in southeast Tunisia. Three strains were isolated from three patients from Gafsa, Sidi Bouzid and Seliana indicating an extension of this parasite's range towards the centre and the north of Tunisia.
