Notes: ^*See Fig. 1 for location of villages. These are the sites where active case detection was done. Not all patients included at these sites lived in the village itself.

^†M: male; F: female.

^‡Parasite load grading. ND: not done.

^§In Fig. 3, the suspected L. tropica fragment appears slightly higher, and could represent an aspecific amplicon. To be on the safe side, this was not considered positive for L. tropica.
