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.
