Overview

Molecular investigation identified leishmania species in Kurdistan, highlighting the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Key Points

  • Overall, 56 of 59 specimens tested positive for leishmania, confirming high prevalence rates in the region.
  • Among the confirmed cases, 67.9% were attributed to leishmania major, while 32.1% were leishmania tropica.
  • Assessment involved PCR using specific primers to detect the conserved gene region of 18s rRNA among 59 specimens.
  • This data underscores the need for effective disease control measures and continuous monitoring of leishmaniasis outbreaks.
