Pictures of People With Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a group of parasitic diseases caused by protozoa of the Leishmania genus. These diseases are transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of infected female sandflies. Leishmaniasis can manifest in several different clinical forms, ranging from mild, self-limiting skin ulcers to severe and potentially life-threatening visceral (internal) infections. Leishmaniasis is considered a neglected tropical disease and is prevalent in various parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. |
