Leishmania / Leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by the bite of an infected sandfly. The disease is caused by protozoa, which are one-celled organisms that are too small to see without a microscope. There are several forms of leishmaniasis.
Leishmaniasis is usually found in tropical or subtropical climates and occurs in parts of approximately 90 countries. There are no vaccines or drugs to prevent infection, but the best way to prevent it is to avoid sandfly bites.
Treatment for leishmaniasis depends on the type of infection. Simple cutaneous leishmaniasis may resolve on its own without treatment, but more complex cases may require hospital admission and treatment with systemic antimonials ( Reference: Wikipedia ).
