Lutzomyia longipalpis and the eco-epidemiology of American visceral leishmaniasis, with particular reference to Brazil: a review.
TLDR
An historical review is given of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL), with particular reference to the eco-epidemiology of the disease in Brazil, and the presence of such an enzootic in a variety of native animals will render the total eradication of AVL unlikely.

Evolution, classification and geographical distribution.
Clinical and immunopathological spectrum of American cutaneous leishmaniasis with special reference to the disease in Amazonian Brazil: a review.
TLDR
The use of the term "borderline disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis" is proposed for the disseminated form of the disease, due to parasites of the subgenera Leishmania and Viannia, which might be regarded as intermediate between LCL and the extreme pathogenicity poles MCL and ADCL.

This poster discusses cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis, a zoonosis-causative parasites, primarily those of wild animals, and neotropical Leishmania species-as recorded in humans and resultant pathologies.

An outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis among soldiers in Belém, Pará State, Brazil, caused by Leishmania (Viannia) lindenbergi n. sp. A new leishmanial parasite of man in the Amazon region.
TLDR
By far the most abundant anthropophilic sandfly in the type locality was identified as Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) antunesi (Coutinho), and this remains high on the list of possible vectors.

Immunopathogenic competences of Leishmania (V.) braziliensis and L. (L.) amazonensis in American cutaneous leishmaniasis
The immunopathogenic competences of Leishmania (V.) braziliensis and L. (L.) amazonensis were reviewed in the light of more recent features found in the clinical and immunopathological spectrum of…

The dermal leishmaniases of Brazil, with special reference to the eco-epidemiology of the disease in Amazonia.
TLDR
The eco-epidemiology of each species of Leishmania in Brazil is discussed, with the observation that the Amazonian leishmaniases are all zoonoses, with their source in silvatic mammals and phlebotomine sandfly vectors.
