Abstract

The present development of planned and unplanned areas of colonization in the primary forest of Bolivia, together with mining, oil prospection and the opening of new roads, etc., has increased considerably the risk of infection by leishmanias. We have established that leishmaniasis is endemic in 5 of the 9 states of Bolivia (Recacoechea, 1983).
