Abstract
Molecular Study of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Human Reservoirs and Infections in Bastak
Highlights
Leishmaniasis is one the six most important diseases in tropical areas
Tateraindica and Merioneshurrianae species are introduced as the disease reservoir hosts in this area and use of molecular and PCR methods provides the possibility of faster diagnosis of parasite species
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a chronic disease of skin and named differently in various areas
Summary
Leishmaniasis is one the six most important diseases in tropical areas. The purpose of this research is molecular study of cutaneous leishmaniasis human reservoirs and infections in Bastak County, Hormozgan Province, Iran. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a chronic disease of skin and named differently in various areas (e.g., it is known to Salak in Shiraz and Lakehye Sal in Mashhad). The disease is especially observed in warm seasons and in tropical regions. It is caused by a protozoan of genus leishmania and Trypanosomatidae family. It can be transferred between human and some animals, including rodents and dogs and it can transfer by a sandfly (Phlebtomus) from a patient to others. It is possible that the wounds recover spontaneously in a few weeks or even several years [2]
