Maps of the Geographic Distribution of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL). Notes: Adapted and modified from Chapter 277, Leishmania species. Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases [31] ¹In Guatemala, the reported cases of CL have been acquired in the northern departments (particularly, El Petén and Alta Verapaz but also Izabal, El Quiché, Baja Verapaz, and Jalapa). ²The etiologic agents of CL in Israel primarily include L. major and L. tropica but also L. infantum-chagasi. ³The species L. (Leishmania) martiniquensis, which was formally named in 2014, has been identified as the etiologic agent of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in the French West Indies (Martinique Island) and Thailand, where it previously was referred to as “L. siamenensis” (not considered a taxonomically valid name). ⁴In Sri Lanka, L. donovani has been identified as the etiologic agent of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis. ⁵Not all Leishmania species that cause CL are included in this map (eg, L. amazonensis in South America).
