Leishmaniasis vectors in the environment of treated leishmaniasis cases in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 3247-3255, November 2022., 2022

Co-endemicity of schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis: Spatial co-clustering in endemic areas. [PDF]

Trop Med Int Health
Abstract Objectives Schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis simultaneously affect areas in tropical and subtropical regions. Co‐infected individuals show a less‐than‐optimal response to treatment and increased regulatory immune responses. However, no study has determined where Schistosoma–Leishmania co‐infections are more likely to occur ...
