    Domestic and peridomestic transmission of American cutaneous leishmaniasis: changing epidemiological patterns present new control opportunities
    (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2001) Diarmid Campbell‐Lendrum; Jean-Pierre Dujardin; E. Martínez; M. Dora Feliciangeli; Jeanneth Pérez; Laura Ney Marcelino Passerat de Silans; P. Desjeux
    Predictions that deforestation would reduce American cutaneous leishmaniasis incidence have proved incorrect. Presentations at a recent international workshop, instead, demonstrated frequent domestication of transmission throughout Latin America. While posing new threats, this process also increases the effectiveness of vector control in and around houses. New approaches for sand fly control and effective targeting of resources are reviewed.
