Spatial analysis was used for the whole population and stratified by women &gt; 14 years of age (n = 159), men &gt; 14 years of age (n = 667), and children &lt; 15 years of age (n = 213). Although kernel density for adults encompassed nearly the entire city, distribution in children was most prevalent in the peripheral areas of the city. Scan statistic analysis for adult males, adult females, and children found 11, 2, and 8 clusters, respectively. Clusters for children had the highest odds ratios (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05) and were located in proximity of plantations and secondary vegetation. The data from this study provide further evidence of the potential urban transmission of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in northern Argentina.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2010.09-0113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,5]],"date-time":"2010-03-05T18:59:46Z","timestamp":1267815586000},"page":"433-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Urban Transmission of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Argentina: Spatial Analysis Study"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 F.","family":"Gil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julio R.","family":"Nasser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvana P.","family":"Cajal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marisa","family":"Juarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norma","family":"Acosta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rub\u00e9n O.","family":"Cimino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricio","family":"Diosque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandro J.","family":"Krolewiecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev","first-page":"230","article-title":"Leishmaniases of the New World: current concepts and implications for future research","volume":"6","author":"Grimaldi","year":"1993"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo","first-page":"99","article-title":"Study of a cutaneous leishmaniasis outbreak in General Vedia, Province of Chaco, 1996","volume":"43","author":"Salomon","year":"2001"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"640","article-title":"A randomized clinical trial comparing oral azithromycin and meglumine antimoniate for the treatment of American cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis","volume":"77","author":"Krolewiecki","year":"2007"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"606","article-title":"Species assignation of Leishmania from human and canine American tegumentary leishmaniasis cases by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis in north Argentina","volume":"72","author":"Marco","year":"2005"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Ann Trop Med Parasitol","first-page":"247","article-title":"The identification of sandfly species, from an area of Argentina with endemic leishmaniasis, by the PCR-based analysis of the gene coding for 18S ribosomal RNA","volume":"101","author":"Barroso","year":"2007"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz","first-page":"282","article-title":"Urban distribution of Phlebotominae in a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus, Argentina","volume":"103","author":"Salomon","year":"2008"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"J Med Entomol","first-page":"33","article-title":"Spatial and temporal patterns of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in northern Argentina","volume":"41","author":"Salomon","year":"2004"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo","first-page":"105","article-title":"American cutaneous leishmaniasis outbreak, Tartagal city, province of Salta, Argentina, 1993","volume":"43","author":"Salomon","year":"2001"},{"key":"R9","series-title":"Acta Trop","first-page":"1","article-title":"Natural infection of Lutzomyia neivai with Leishmania spp. in northwestern Argentina","volume":"98","author":"Cordoba-Lanus","year":"2006"},{"key":"R10","series-title":"Medicina (B Aires)","first-page":"284","article-title":"Tegumentary leishmaniasis in area with epidemic levels of transmission, Salta, Argentina, 1998 [in Spanish]","volume":"61","author":"Salomon","year":"2001"},{"key":"R11","series-title":"Rev Soc Bras Med Trop","first-page":"573","article-title":"Tegumentary leishmaniasis in northern Argentina: distribution of infection and disease, in three municipalities of Salta, 1990\u20131992","volume":"33","author":"Sosa-Estani","year":"2000"},{"key":"R12","series-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"554","article-title":"Clinical status and parasitic infection in a Wichi Aboriginal community in Salta, Argentina","volume":"97","author":"Taranto","year":"2003"},{"key":"R13","series-title":"Bol Sanid Veg Plagas","first-page":"227","article-title":"La rata negra (Rattus rattus Linneo, 1758) como plaga de los cultivos ib\u00e9ricos de ca\u00f1a de az\u00facar.
