> The Leishmaniasis Gap Analysis Report and Action Plan carried out in
> Albania, Jordan, and Pakistan during 2015 shows that despite its
> worldwide prevalence and disastrous impact on the lives of millions,
> leishmaniasis is still very much a growing, neglected disease, mainly
> affecting impoverished communities, living in poor conditions,
> without
> adequate access to shelter, healthcare, and medication.

> It is well known that Pakistan is endemic for leishmaniasis, and
> ProMED has also posted regularly on the increase in the number of
> cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in refugees from Syria.

> Leishmaniasis is endemic in Southern Europe including Spain, France,
> Italy, The Balkans, Greece, and Turkey, and the report does not
> provide new data.

> Detailed background information on leishmaniasis in Albania, Jordan,
> Pakistan can be found in
> Alvar J et al and the WHO Leishmaniasis Control Team: Leishmaniasis
> worldwide and global estimates of its incidence. PLoS One. 2012;
> 7(5):

> Leishmaniasis is a poverty related disease and one of the countries
> with the highest incidence is Afghanistan; a considerable number of
