The reemergence of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil.

Because of a complex array of factors, an increasing number of new and reemerging infectious diseases are being recognized in both industrialized and developing countries in the Americas (1,2). The expanding population, living in overcrowded conditions with inadequate housing and sanitary facilities, has been exposed to new diseases and human pathogens. For example, the appearance of the South American arenaviruses (Junin, Machupo, and Guanarito) illustrates how exploitation of new areas for human settlement and agriculture increases the likelihood that new infectious diseases will emerge. Cholera, plague, AIDS, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and urban/periurban visceral leishmaniasis are examples of new and reemerging diseases in the region.
