Co‐endemicity of schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis: Spatial co‐clustering in endemic areas

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
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 ...
