  • Title: Post-Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis as a Reservoir for Visceral Leishmaniasis Transmission.
    Author: Le Rutte EA, Zijlstra EE, de Vlas SJ.
    Journal: Trends Parasitol; 2019 Aug; 35(8):590-592. PubMed ID: 31266711.
    Abstract:
    Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a parasitic skin infection which can occur after visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Recent xenodiagnosis studies (Mondal et al., Clin. Infect. Dis., 2018) have uncovered the infectiousness of PKDL. When including this in a transmission model, PKDL cases appear as an important reservoir of infection, likely frustrating the VL elimination efforts on the Indian subcontinent.
