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

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Volume 99, No. 7, Year 2005

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. © 2005 Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
