Abstract: 

In their Review on cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), Richard Reithinger and colleagues1 emphasised the spreading of species causing this neglected disease to previously non-endemic areas. In line with the above, we present data that support the emergence and spread of non-European Leishmania species in Europe.
