Description
A large research team reviewed past studies on cutaneous leishmaniasis, a skin disease spread by sand flies, in Ethiopia. Their review and pooled analysis came out in 2026. About 29 million people in the country live at risk, with up to 50,000 new cases each year, yet care is often hard to reach.
Pooling the studies gave an overall rate of about 6.75 percent for the disease. Risk ran higher for men, for people in rural areas, and in some farm and climate zones. The team also mapped where cases cluster and where treatment centers sit. Their maps and numbers can help health planners send care and prevention work to the places that need it most.
