A New Focus of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Northern Somalia
We reported the first identification of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania donovani in previously unknown focus in northern Somalia. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of 118 VL cases seen in 2013-2019 in Bossaso have raised suspicion of VL endemicity status here, but further work is needed.
