It is a deforming and fatal disease in the visceral form. Therapies for leishmaniasis are numerically restricted, basically consisting of the administration of miltefosine, pentavalent antimonials, amphotericin B, or pentamidine. This is an important vulnerability against therapy efficiency that must be overcome by the scientific community. This book discusses important aspects of the disease, such as treatment, epidemiology, and molecular and cell biology. The information contained herein is important for young researchers as they seek to develop safe and effective treatments for this neglected tropical disease. 517 $aLeishmaniasis 606 $aLeishmaniasis 606 $aLeishmaniasis, Mucocutaneous 615 0$aLeishmaniasis. 615 0$aLeishmaniasis, Mucocutaneous. 676 $a616.9364 702 $aCalderon$b Leonardo de Azevedo 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688169403321 996 $aLeishmaniasis$92953485 997 $aUNINA
