| A cross-sectional survey of 29 randomly selected schools, comprising 11 (37.9%) post-primary schools and 18 (62.1%) primary schools from eight Local Government Areas (LGAs) (approximately 35% of the 23 LGAs) of Kaduna State was undertaken to determine the prevalence status of cutaneous leishmaniasis between May and October, 1997. The disease occurrence was detected by on-sight diagnosis of active lesions and scars, and observed leishmanial cases were recorded for patients who gave description of symptoms that fitted into clinical symptoms of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The recorded cases were confirmed by parasitological examination of Giemsa-stained lesion smears for amastigotes in the laboratory. The Chi-square analysis of the result revealed that there was... |

| ABSTRACT Background Leishmania major is a causative agent of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in the center of Iran, Abarkouh district. Molecular characterization and precise incrimination of Leishmania species was carried out to perform controlling measurements and to design treatment programs for zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. Methods All smears isolated from ulcers of suspected patients were examined under a light microscope and graded for amastigotes frequency. Extraction of DNA, PCR, RFLP and sequencing of ITS-rDNA genotype were done to increase the efficacy of Leishmania parasites identification at their species-specific level and to detect any Leishmania infections within. Results Humans were found to be infected with L. major with high... |
