“…However, as the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection increases in tropical America, it is probable that AVL will appear more frequently as an opportunistic infection in adults with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection and AIDS. This has been the pattern observed in southern Europe with Leishmania infantum infection (5,32,229).…”

“…Greater discrimination within and between members of the major Leishmania complexes requires recombinant DNA selection of specific sequences (23). Specific recombinant probes for L. major (140,229,237), Leishmania tropica (185), Leishmania aethiopica (159), L. donovani (72,89,95,130,174), and L. braziliensis (215) species complexes have now been reported, and there are increasing numbers of recombinant probes which may be able to distinguish geographically isolated parasite strains (23,72,130,320). kDNA hybridization can also be employed for identification of Leishmania spp.…”

Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that leishmaniasis in the Americas is far more abundant and of greater public health importance than was previously recognized. The disease in the New World is caused by a number of different parasite species that are capable of producing a wide variety of clinical manifestations. The outcome of leishmanial infection in humans is largely dependent on the immune responsiveness of the host and the virulence of the infecting parasite strain. This article reviews current concepts of the clinical forms, immunology, pathology, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment of the disease as well as aspects of its epidemiology and control. Recommendations for future research on the disease and its control are made.

“…In addition, Leishmania arabica has been reported in dogs in Saudi Arabia [67]. Moreover, other Leishmania species (e.g., Leishmania equatorensis and Leishmania utingensis ) [68,69] have been described from wildlife and/or sand flies, but have not yet been detected in humans or dogs.…”

An account is given of work published during the past 10 years incriminating species of phlebotomine sandflies as vectors of Leishmania species which infect man. An assessment is made of the degrees of certainty of the vectorial roles of eighty-one species and subspecies of sandflies (thirty-seven Old World and forty-four New World) in the transmission of twenty-nine leishmanial parasites of mammals. At least one species of sandfly is considered to be a proven vector of each of ten parasites. Of the eighty-one sandfly taxa, evidence is judged to be sufficient to incriminate nineteen as proven vectors (eleven Phlebotomus species and eight Lutzomyia species or subspecies) and evidence for a further fourteen (nine Phlebotomus species and five Lutzomyia species or subspecies) is considered to be strong. The suggested criteria for incrimination of a vector are anthropophily and common infection with the same leishmanial parasite as that found in man in the same place. More weight should be given to natural infections persisting after the digestion of a bloodmeal than those in the presence of blood. Supporting evidence is a concordance in the distribution of the fly and the disease in man, proof that the fly feeds regularly on the reservoir host, a flourishing development of the parasite in infected flies and the experimental transmission of the parasite by the bite of the fly.
