Fig 1.
Global distribution of classical and atypical leishmaniasis in New and Old World countries.
Solid rectangles indicate region-specific prevalence of classical disease type; CL (green rectangle), VL (pink rectangle), VL and CL (yellow rectangle). Regions with solid circles indicate atypical CL and VL disease form. Different color code of solid circles discriminate the causative parasite species responsible for atypical leishmaniasis; L. tropica VL (blue solid circles), L. amazonensis VL (aquamarine solid circles), L. major VL (black solid circles), L. infantum CL (purple solid circles), L. chagasi CL (gold solid circles), and L. donovani CL (red solid circles). Regions with red stars represent newer disease sites discovered. The map was created using ArcGIS 10.3. Regional distributions of disease were georeferenced with UTM projection taking WGS84 datum. CL, cutaneous leishmaniasis; VL, visceral leishmaniasis.
Fig 2.
Geographical distribution of classical and atypical leishmaniasis cases in Indian subcontinent.
Solid circles represent classical CL and VL leishmaniasis, and solid triangles represent atypical CL and VL leishmaniasis with different color codes. Green solid circles and red solid circles represent classical L. tropica CL and L. donovani VL, respectively. Aquamarine solid triangles and black solid triangles represent atypical L. tropica VL and L. donovani CL, respectively. Regions with dotted gold background indicate newer disease sites discovered. Solid colored circles and triangles indicate prevalence of different disease forms and do not represent the number of leishmaniasis cases. The map was created using ArcGIS 10.3. Regional distributions of disease were georeferenced with UTM projection taking WGS84 datum. CL, cutaneous leishmaniasis; VL, visceral leishmaniasis.
