“…However, there is enough evidence (e.g., the presence of sand fly vectors, human cases, and/or seropositive dogs) indicating the risk of canine leishmaniasis in these countries [ 27 – 30 ]. For instance, leishmaniasis is considered nonendemic in Chile, but supposedly, imported cases in humans [ 31 ] and seropositive dogs [ 29 , 30 ] have been reported. Little is known about the sand fly fauna of Chile, where only a single sand fly species ( Oligodontomyia isopsi ) has been reported thus far [ 32 ].…”

Canine leishmaniasis is a widespread disease on the American continent, with cases reported from Uruguay to the USA and Canada. While numerous Leishmania spp. have been reported in dogs in this region, Leishmania infantum and Leishmania braziliensis are the most common etiological agents of canine leishmaniasis from a continental perspective. Nonetheless, other species may predominate locally in some countries. The participation of dogs in the transmission cycle of various Leishmania spp. has long been speculated, but evidence indicates that their role as reservoirs of species other than L. infantum is negligible. Various native wildlife (e.g., small rodents, marsupials, sloths, and monkeys) are, in fact, the primary hosts of Leishmania spp. in the Americas. In this review, an updated list of Leishmania spp. infecting dogs in the Americas is presented, along with their distribution and clinical and zoonotic importance Graphical Abstract

Prevention and control of leishmaniasis: a systematic review

2021

The research was mainly focused on leishmaniasis, which is considered a chronic parasitic and endemic disease that has spread in many parts of the world. This disease is transmitted to humans via vectors through the bite of insects of the family Psychodidae. The overall objective was to develop a systematic review on the prevention and control of leishmaniasis in the population. In order to develop this research in the Methodology, a systematic review was developed, characterised by a process of collection, selection and evaluation of retrospective studies that allowed arguing the need for this research on the prevention and control of leishmaniasis. From 50 studies explicitly presented in an Excel database on the disease, 14 were selected as a final sample. It was found among the main results that leishmaniasis is an endemic disease controlled through antimonials. Malnourished people are more vulnerable, it is common in children in rural areas, and its clinical manifestations include fever, splenomegaly, anaemia and leucopenia. In conclusion, leishmaniasis is an endemic disease treated in the health sector mainly through care and control rather than prevention.

Leishmaniases are human and animal parasitic diseases transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies. Globalization is an important driver of the burden and in the current dynamics of these diseases. A systematic review of articles published between 2000 and 2021 was conducted using the PubMed search engine to identify the epidemiology and clinical management of imported human leishmaniases as a fundamental step to better manage individual cases and traveler and migrant health from a global perspective. A total of 275 articles were selected, representing 10,341 human imported cases. Identified drivers of changing patterns in epidemiology include conflict and war, as well as host factors, such as immunosuppression, natural and iatrogenic. Leishmania species diversity associated with different clinical presentations implies diagnostic and treatment strategies often complex to select and apply, especially in non-endemic settings. Thus, diagnostic and management algorithms for medical clinical decision support are proposed. Increased surveillance of non-endemic cases, whether in vulnerable populations such as refugees/migrants and immunocompromised individuals or travelers, could improve individual health and mitigate the public health risk of introducing Leishmania species into new areas.
