Abstract
La leishmaniosis visceral zoonótica (ZVL) producida por L. infantum, es una enfermedad parasitaria que constituye un gran reto para la salud pública al afectar tanto a seres humanos como a perros, siendo estos últimos el principal reservorio. Su transmisión, fundamentalmente vectorial, se lleva a cabo mediante insectos denominados flebotomos pertenecientes al género Lutzomyia en América Central y del Sur y Phlebotomus en la Cuenca Mediterránea, Oriente Medio y Asia. Se trata de una enfermedad que cursa con cuadros clínicos de gravedad variable en los hospedadores, con manifestaciones tanto cutáneas como viscerales, que pueden incluso llegar a producir la muerte de los pacientes si no se recibe el tratamiento adecuado...
Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) caused by L. infantum is a parasitic disease that constitutes a major public health challenge as it affects both humans and dogs, the main reservoir. The transmission is carried by insects called phlebotomine sandflies belonging to the genus Lutzomyia in Central and South America and Phlebotomus in the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East and Asia. It is a disease that causes a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, with both cutaneous and visceral manifestations, which can even lead to death if not adequately treated...
