| Description |
The term “leishmaniasis”, caused by sand fly transmitted intracellular protozoan parasite Leishmania,
covers a range of disease presentations, most commonly seen in the tropical and sub tropical
countries. Leishmaniasis is not a single entity but comprises of a variety of syndromes, primarily
due to a variety of parasites affecting different populations and each related to a characteristic
vector and animal reservoirs. It is caused by species of intracellular parasite belonging to the genus
‘Leishmania’. The problem is not only complex but also cosmopolitan. Until about 60 years ago
leishmaniasis was thought to be important only in India, China, the Middle East, Southern Europe
and parts of southern America. But now it is recognized in all continents except in Australia and
Antarctica. During the past 10 years, the endemic regions have been spreading and there has been
a sharp increase in the number of recorded cases of the disease.
