Map of the West Bank and Jenin District. a, map of the West Bank and adjacent areas mentioned in the text, showing the distribution of the zymodemes to which the two reference strains of L. tropica, ISER/IL/98/LRC-L758; MHOM/IL/97/P963, belonged and of the zymodeme MON-265; KA = Kfar Adumim; NSG = the focus just north of the Sea of Galilee; Lt = foci of L. tropica; Lm = foci of L. major ; b, map of the Jenin District, showing the foci from which the 12 cases of CL came and the distribution of the two types of L. tropica isolated from the cases, designated X and Y in the map to correspond with their characteristic biochemical (zymodemal affiliation), genetic (microsatellite affiliation and kDNA type) and serological (excreted factor (EF) serotype) profiles.
