Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), (also known as black fever or
Kala-azar) is a life-threatening disease first reported from the
Indian subcontinent. VL ranks as the world's second largest
parasitic disease killer and is a neglected tropical disease. Most
of those infected by this life-threatening disease are uneducated
daily wagers working to support their families, and vectors easily
disseminate the disease to their neighbors. Owing to recent
involvement of stakeholders, the number of patients is decreasing,
but eradication remains a distant goal. This second edition
presents latest reports of visceral Leishmaniasis by specialists
working at the forefront of the endemic areas in Indian
subcontinent. It also introduces vaccine development and inhibitors
to Trypanosomatidae; some of them describing feasibility studies in
visceral Leishmaniasis for the first time. Recent progress of the
Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable
Development (SATREPS) is also reviewed and the contents share this
collaborative research from the forefront of endemic sites in
Bangladesh. Widely covering basic, clinical, epidemiological and
entomological aspects, this volume will be of great interest to
dedicated researchers interested inLeishmaniasis and to experts of
NTDs in global health. There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the
voyage of disease control is bound in shallows and in miseries.
