In Ethiopia, there are many VL endemic foci.
The aim of this study was to determine the trends of VL in the study area.

A total of 7161 VL suspected cases were reported in the study area.
The overall prevalence of VL was 2801 (39.1%).
Of the 2801 VL positive cases, the highest annual prevalence, 988 (46.8%), was reported in 2005 but the trend gradually decreases.
Majority of the VL confirmed cases were in the age groups of 5–14 years and males were more affected.
