چکیده
|
A countrywide epidemiological study was performed to elucidate the current geographic distribution of causative species of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in ecuador by using fta card-spotted samples and smear slides as dna sources. putative leishmania in 165 samples collected from patients with cl in 16 provinces of ecuador were examined at the species level based on the cytochrome b gene sequence analysis. of these,125 samples were successfully identified as leishmania (viannia) guyanensis,l. (v.) braziliensis,l. (v.) naiffi,l. (v.) lainsoni,and l. (leishmania) mexicana. two dominant species,l. (v.) guyanensis and l. (v.) braziliensis,were widely distributed in pacific coast subtropical and amazonian tropical areas,respectively. recently reported l. (v.) naiffi and l. (v.) lainsoni were identified in amazonian areas,and l. (l.) mexicana was identified in an andean highland area. importantly,the present study demonstrated that cases of l. (v.) braziliensis infection are increasing in pacific coast areas. © 2016 kato et al.
