Abstract
La leishmaniosis está causada por protozoos flagelados del género Leishmania, distribuyéndose por zonas tropicales y subtropicales y afectando a 98 países en 5 continentes. Esta enfermedad puede afectar tanto a humanos como otros vertebrados, siendo un importante problema de salud pública en lugares de África, Asia, América Latina y sur de Europa. La leishmaniosis se engloba dentro de las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, puesto que se transmite a través de la picadura de las hembras de flebotomos cuando se alimentan de la sangre de algún vertebrado. Además, es considerada una enfermedad tropical desatendida debido a su complejidad ecológica y epidemiológica, a la dificultad en el manejo de los casos, su mayor incidencia en la población más pobre de los países en desarrollo y a la falta de datos precisos sobre su extensión y distribución...
Leishmaniasis is caused by flagellated protozoa of the genus Leishmania and is distributed in tropical and subtropical zones, affecting 98 countries on 5 continents. This disease can affect both humans and other vertebrates, and is a major public health problem in regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America and southern Europe. Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease, since it is transmitted through the bite of female sand flies when they feed on a vertebrate. In addition, it is considered a neglected tropical disease due to its ecological and epidemiological complexity, difficulty in case management, increased incidence in the poorest populations of developing countries and lack of accurate data on its extent and distribution...
