Abstract :

In the current era, despite the remarkable development of science and advances in the Overview of Laboratory Diagnostic Techniques for Leishmaniasis control of infectious diseases, parasitic diseases still a major health problem. Leishmaniasis is one of the parasitic diseases that considered as a health problem in Tropical countries of the world, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. The disease is due to protozoan species called leishmaniasis, which very important in developing countries, including Iran. Leishmaniasis is one of the health challenges in tropical and subtropical regions such as Iran. High levels of endemicity of the disease Leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis shows the need to identify methods of laboratory diagnostics. Because Skin lesions due to leishmania may be confused with other pathogens such as streptococcal pyoderma and borriya pathogens, The different species of Leishmania may cause similar symptoms Often, leishmaniasis is caused by different species of different diet regimens. The determination of Leishmania species important.
