Abstract
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne parasitic disease transmitted by sand-fly bites. In Palestine, CL is endemic and poses a significant public health challenge, particularly in areas like Jericho and Jenin. Previous studies predict a rise in CL incidence in Palestine until 2060.
