Abstract

In Ecuador, leishmaniasis is mainly in rural areas. The objective of the work was to identify cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in residents of non-endemic areas of Manabi. The most limited age was 45-60 with unique lesions. Infection was demonstrated in communities that remained as non-endemic.
