Abstract

During 2015-2019, we recorded 10 patients with indigenous cases of visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani in Western Ghats, a region in India to which visceral leishmaniasis is not endemic. The parasite involved in 4 of these infections was of the MON-37 zymodeme strain, which normally causes cutaneous leishmaniasis in this region.
