How Do I Choose the Best Leishmaniasis Treatment?
Leishmania parasites are single-cell protozoan parasites that attack the skin, cause severe ulcers, and make the body almost impossible to recover. If the ulcer becomes infected, the patient will die.

- Leishmania parasites are single-cell protozoan parasites that attack the skin, cause severe ulcers, and make the body almost impossible to recover. If the ulcer becomes infected, the patient will die.
- There are 12 million people in the world with Leishmaniasis, and 1.5 million people are newly infected with the disease each year. More than 90% of Leishmaniasis in the world occurs in the Middle East and Asia. The remaining 10% is in Latin America, ranging from northern Argentina to northern Mexico.

- Leishmania can feed on many different kinds of animals. In fact, it only needs skinned things. Ferris wheel-shaped cells show that it is a carnivorous parasite.
- After being infected, humans will first find bright red dots on the skin, itching with pain similar to the pain of recovery after burns, or similar stinging. The red dots then expand within a few weeks, forming round, smooth, bright red protrusions, and the pain will worsen. Eventually a non-healing ulcer is formed.
- Rodents are a common host of Leishmania parasites, and the polymerase chain will reflect whether or not Leishmania DNA is present on rodent skin samples. However, rodents do not directly transmit this parasite to humans, and they need to transmit disease through intermediate hosts, insects.
- A common Leishmanian parasite spreads a small insect, the sand fly. If the sand fly is infected, the parasite appears in the midgut of the sand fly. The parasites breed here, and when sand flies bite humans, the parasites come to human blood. White blood cells attack the invaders, but the parasites fight back, invading the white blood cells, multiplying inside the white blood cells and then rushing out, attacking the surrounding skin cells. The cycle begins again when the sand fly bites a person who has been infected with Leishmaniasis.
- A sand fly is only one-third the size of a mosquito, but is extremely aggressive. It feeds on most mammals. The infected sand fly bites people, not other rodents.
- The best way to treat Leishmaniasis is to surgically remove the ulcerated tissue and take fluconazole (this is prescribed by a professional doctor). The best way to prevent this is to prevent mosquito bites and carry insect repellent sprays with you.
