Abstract

Background and purpose: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic parasitic disease in different regions ofthe world especially in Iran. KHORASAN province is endemic for anthroponootic and zoonotic cutaneousleishmaniasis with unequal outbreak. Identification of species could have important implications for thedisease and reservoirs control and finding the epidemiologic map. There is no study on this protozoadisease in FARIMAN, northeast Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the protozoa genotyping in thisarea. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was done in 50 suspected cases in FARIMAN 2015-2016. After light microscope checking, scrapings from all smears were done for DNA extraction andspecies identification was done using kDNA-PCR. Results: Among 50 suspected cases, 40 patients (80%) were found positive with direct smearsand 42 (84%) were identified by PCR. LEISHMANIA TROPICA was identified in 13 (31%) and 29 (69%) wereinfected with LEISHMANIA MAJOR. Two negative smears were positive with PCR. The disease mainlyinvolved those aged 11-20 years (28. 6%) and the most common site of lesions was hands (38. 1%) asulcerative form (58%). From 13 cases of LEISHMANIA TROPICA 75% and 25% were in urban and ruraldistricts, respectively. Also, from 29 cases of LEISHMANIA MAJOR 17. 2% and 82. 8% were in urban and ruraldistricts, respectively. This difference was statistically significant (P= 0. 004). Conclusion: FARIMAN is a zoonotic leishmaniasis foci in northeast Iran. Further studies ondisease reservoirs and vectors seems necessary to control and reduce the number of people affected.
