World map of geographical distribution of clinically important, human-infecting Leishmania species. Travel history is an important factor in diagnosing leishmaniasis. This diagram illustrates the epidemiological pattern of various New World (the Americas) and Old World (Africa, Asia, and Europe) Leishmania species. This is particular important in non-endemic areas where any species of Leishmania can be imported from areas where more than one species is found.
