Leishmaniasis and Trypanosomiasis

  • Chapter

Abstract

Leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis are separate groups of arthropodborne diseases of humans and other animals caused by infection with protozoan hemoflagellates of the genus Leishmania and Trypanosoma, respectively. Both genera are included in the family Trypanosomatidae, order Kinetoplastida (Fig. 8.1).
