Map of Peruvian Departments indicating the 2012 incidence rates of human cutaneous (CL) and mucocutaneous (MCL) leishmaniasis cases, where incidence  =  [(number of probable and confirmed laboratory cases in epidemiological reporting week #51)/(2012 estimated population)]*(100,000 people). Madre de Dios had an incidence of 487 and 45 cases for CL and MCL, respectively. The Department of Callao had no reported cases and is excluded on this map.
