    This is the authors’ response to peer reviews of “Impact of Modifiable Risk Factors on the Occurrence of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Diyala, Iraq: Case-Control Study.”


    Reviewer O

    1. Thanks for raising this issue [1]. Being a control does not mean that they should not share the risk factors. A control here [2] is a person with no current lesions or history of lesions.

    4. Would you please highlight the repeated paragraph, as we reviewed it more than once but did not find it.

    Reviewer T

    2. Because we have so many risk factors to talk about, we did not put the odds in the Abstract.

    6. Because this study was part of an outbreak investigation, we did not use the traditional methods for sample size calculation. Instead, we included as many as possible of both cases and controls to have more insight into the risk factors.

    8. If the reviewer can kindly point out which table he meant [3], we will correct it accordingly.
