Endemic and zoonotic cycles of cutaneous leishmaniasis depend on vector feeding preferences: An epidemiological model for Southeastern Mexico
Overall, we emphasize that vector species have different roles on leishmaniasis epidemiology due to feeding preferences. Therefore, roviding funding to improve basic knowledge into the epidemiology of this disease, will improve our understanding of its dynamics. Once achieved, policymakers can develop targeted interventions to reduce CL incidence in affected regions to improve the outcomes of public health interventions.
