Epidemiologia i genètica del brot de leishmaniosi detectat a Madrid l’any 2009
Leishmaniasis are a set of zoonotic diseases caused by various species of Leishmania, a group of strict parasitic protozoa with an heteroxenous cycle, alternating an invertebrate host, which acts as a vector, and a vertebrate host, usually mammal, which can act as asymptomatic reservoir.
