TL;DR: Miltefosine is noninferior to meglumine antimoniate for treatment of pediatric cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Viannia) species and advantages of oral administration and low toxicity favor use of miltefOSine in children.

TL;DR: The presence of Leishmania parasites in the unaffected skin and peripheral-blood monocytes of a high proportion of patients even after treatment and the acquisition of infection by sand flies support the plausibility of anthroponotic transmission of American cutaneous leishmaniasis.

TL;DR: Phlebotomine vector ecology was studied in the largest recorded outbreak of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in Colombia in 2004, and large differences were observed in population abundance between the two townships evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, a seroprevalencia de infeccion por leptospira in humanos, identificar the reactividad serologica and explorar factores asociados with the seropositividad.

TL;DR: Measurement of the reduction of parasite burden at a single predetermined drug concentration under standardized conditions provides an efficient and reliable strategy for susceptibility evaluation and monitoring of clinical strains of Leishmania.
