- Abstract
In order to identify risk factors for cutaneous leishmaniasis infection in individuals from the Montecristi canton, a study was carried out during January and December 2019. The sample consisted of 297 individuals, aged between 15 and 50 years, both sexes. A survey was conducted to find out the risk factors and level of knowledge of the disease. The risk factors identified where differences were found between the groups with and without leishmaniasis were: age, sex, educational level, occupation and knowledge of the disease. It is concluded that the risk factors most related to the disease in the population of Montecristi turned out to be male over female and farmers-workers-housework occupations, so health promotion should be maintained in order to give know the preventive measures and thus reduce the disease.
