“…In the present study, males between 21 and 60 years of age had a significantly higher prevalence of ACL compared with females and other age groups. Analysing the male sample alone, an association was found between ACL and type of occupation, as patients from rural areas were the most affected [14][15][16][17][18], thereby confirming the occupational nature of the disease [3]. However, a previous study discussed the emergence of a change in the epidemiological profile of ACL, which can affect individuals regardless of sex, age, type of occupation or place of residence [18,19].…”

“…Nas Américas, a LTA apresenta três formas clínicas principais: a leishmaniose cutânea, a leishmaniose mucocutânea e a leishmaniose difusa. No Brasil, a LTA permanece em expansão, e está cada vez mais associada às alterações ambientais (desmatamento e redução de matas primárias, especialmente as ciliares), à acelerada expansão das fronteiras agrícolas e ao desenvolvimento de outras atividades sinantrópicas como o ecoturismo (Araújo et al, 2008).…”
