Enzootic transmission of Leishmania spp. in gallery forests of the Brazilian Cerrado. [PDF]
Gallery forests harbor mammals and sand flies that may be involved in the transmission of Leishmania spp. parasites. Characterizing the enzootic cycles of Leishmania spp. is essential for understanding its transmission dynamics.
