WHO世界卫生组织：2024确认内脏利什曼病治愈的诊断试验的目标产品概况报告（英文版）

Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoan parasites which are transmitted by the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandflies. The disease is poverty-related and is associated with poor housing, migration and population displacement of nonimmune people into areas with existing endemic or enzootic transmission cycles, environmental and climate changes, protein-energy malnutrition, weakness of the immune system and lack of resources.
