Tegumentary and visceral leishmaniases in Brazil: emerging anthropozoonosis and possibilities for their control
The existence of a number of different species of Leishmania, the persistent increase in the infection rate of diseases caused by this parasite (tegumentary and visceral forms), the different epidemiological situations found in regions of both recent and older colonization, and the trend towards urb...
