Over the past few years,Dhamar Governorate in North Yemen has seen an increase in leishmaniasis cases.The current study aims to assess the epidemiological profile, namely the spatiotemporal tracking of all leishmaniasis cases,and provides an epidemiological overview of the local population.This review focuses on leishmaniasis cases that were documented from 2011 to 2013. To analyze the data, Excele software (version 20) was utilized.There were 759 instances of leishmaniasis over a three-year period, from 2011 to 2013, with 94.99% of cases being cutaneous and 5.01% being mucocutaneous. There are between 0.97564276 and 0.05818674 cases of leishmaniasis in the Governorate of Dhamar. For every type of leishmaniasis, the male sex was more affected than the female sex.Cutaneous leishmaniasis had a major effect on all age groups: patients aged 0–10 made up 54.94% of cases, while those aged 11–20 made up 28.15%.Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis has primarily affected aged [0–10] with 86.84% of cases.Geographically,the Anss region recorded the highest number of leishmaniasis cases (107 cases), followed by Maghrib Ans (29 cases) and Utmah (53 cases).Thus, leishmaniasis is a major health risk in Dhamar Governorate. To stop the disease's spread, all concerned parties must move fast to set up a regional control program. and additional research on the dynamics and ecology of sandfly vectors.
