Contribuciones de la epidemiología al control de la leishmaniosis

Abstract: La leishmaniosis continúa siendo un importante problema de salud pública pese a los esfuerzos gubernamentales, de grupos e individuos. Se estima que a nivel mundial se producen entre 50 000 y 90 000 casos nuevos de leishmaniosis visceral y entre 0.5 y 1 millón de leishmaniosis tegumentaria. Además, en algunas regiones esta parasitosistiene carácter endemoepidémico, y en los últimos años ha incrementado su frecuencia y distribución. El objeto del presente escrito es mostrar algunas contribuciones de laepidemiol… Show more

“…In conclusion or summary the changing environmental conditions within the invertebrate and vertebrate host determine the parasite Leishmania spp. its different morphological forms and the success in fulfilling its life cycle, thus there are several membrane effectors attached or released extracellularly that allow survival and transmission [21]; Just as the social behavior of human beings also intervenes in the maintenance of the life cycle of this protozoan, therefore [22], the information provided in this document is recommended for the design of health programs to control such an important public health problem [23].…”

“…Son dos los objetivos fundamentales de la investigación epidemiológica: la descripción de la enfermedad o de eventos que afectan la salud poblacional y la determinación de las variables o circunstancias que influyen sobre ambos (Bastidas, 2018(Bastidas, , 2019Bastidas et al, 2019). Sin embargo, el dominio del conocimiento de la epidemiología no está claramente delimitado, sino que esta es empleada por otras ramas de las ciencias biológicas para el esclarecimiento de la distribución de patologías y de sus determinantes, de ahí que el enfoque epistemológico de investigación más utilizado sea el positivista (Ayres, 1993;García-Sílberman et al, 2004;Hernández-Ávila et al, 2000;Kuller, 1999;López, 2013).…”
