2. Social determinants of mortality due to visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil (2001-2015): an ecological study
Abstract INTRODUCTION We aimed to analyze the relationship between visceral leishmaniasis mortality and social determinants of health (SDH). METHODS This was an ecological study of all leishmaniasis-related deaths in Brazil, from 2001 to 2015. We analyzed 49 indicators of human development and social vulnerability. The association was tested using the cl

4. Risk mapping of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Brazil experiences a large number of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) cases. Our objective was to examine both spatial patterns of dispersion and space-time trends for this disease. METHODS: We used all autochthonous confirmed cases of VL in Brazil from 2001 to 2017. RESULTS: Throughout Brazil, 53,715 human cases of VL were recorded. T

6. Where, when, and how the diagnosis of human visceral leishmaniasis is defined: answers from the Brazilian control program
BACKGROUND Timely diagnosis is recommended by the Brazilian Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) Surveillance and Control Program to reduce case fatality. Attempts at assessing this topic in Brazil are scarce. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe where, when, and how the diagnosis of VL has been performed in a Brazilian endemic setting. METHODS Data of all au

9. Leishmanioses: sua configuração histórica no Brasil com ênfase na doença visceral nos anos 1930 a 1960
Resumo Casos pioneiros de leishmaniose cutânea e mucocutânea nas Américas foram descritos em São Paulo, em 1909; somente em 1934, um patologista do Serviço de Febre Amarela encontrou a leishmaniose visceral no Brasil. Processos históricos concernentes a essas formas ganharam mais vigor institucional nos anos 1930. Se a Comissão para o Estudo da Leishm

10. Epidemiological aspects of the first human autochthonous visceral leishmaniosis cases in Porto Alegre, Brazil
ABSTRACT Human visceral leishmaniasis is a growing anthropozoonosis in Brazil, and particularly in the southern region of the country. It is an infectious disease transmitted to humans, dogs and other animals in urban and rural areas of the Americas, mainly due to the bite of Lutzomya longipalpis infected with Leishmania infantum.
