Resumen
La Leishmaniasis es una enfermedad causada por un parásito
protozoario del género Leishmania. Es considerada una
enfermedad autóctona de progresión lenta, y epidemiológicamente
tratada en las Américas, como un trastorno parasitario
transmitido por la picadura de un mosquito hematófago
infectado del género Lutzomyia. Diversos estudios han concluido
que las tasas reales de incidencia de Leishmaniasis
son sustancialmente altas en todo el mundo y su prevalencia
es alta en países de las Américas. En el presente artículo,
se muestra el resultado de una revisión documental la cual
se enfoca en realizar una descripción de las especies del
protozoario del género Leishmania en las Américas, se caracteriza
clínicamente la Leishmaniasis cutánea y visceral,
y se muestra una clasificación taxonómica de Leishmania
en el continente. Adicionalmente, se trata el ciclo de vida del
parásito protozoario, los vectores, y algunos aspectos epidemiológicosn
acerca de las formas clínicas que componen la
Leishmanias. Se consideró el método de revisión documental,
a través de la técnica de análisis de contenido para el
desarrollo del presente trabajo.
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Leishmania. It is considered an indigenous disease of slow progression, and epidemiologically treated in the Americas, as a parasitic disorder transmitted by the sting of an infected hematófago mosquito of the genus Lutzomyia. Several studies have concluded that the actual incidence rates of Leishmaniasis are substantially high worldwide and their prevalence is high in countries in the Americas. This article shows the result of a documentary review which focuses on making a description of the species of protozoan of the genus Leishmania in the Americas, cutaneous and visceral Leishmaniasis is characterized clinically, and is shown A taxonomic classification of Leishmania in the continent. In addition, it treats the life cycle of the parasite protozoan, vectors, and some aspects epidemiológicosn about the clinical forms that make up Leishmania. The method of documentary review was considered, through the technique of content analysis for the development of this work.
