- •
Cutaneous leishmaniasis in northwestern Yemen is due to Leishmania tropica.
- •
Dry type lesions were observed in most cases.
- •
High parasite burden was detected in the lesions indicating active transmission of the disease.
- •
Leishmania identification using PCR-RFLP from Giemsa stained and methanol fixed smears in the same experiment gave comparable results.
