Dear Maxy, 

Here is another suggested reading:
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0365-05962005000400015&script=sci_arttext&tlng=en
[2] 

In the section THEORIES ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND EXPANSION OF AMERICAN
TEGUMENTARY LEISHAMANIASIS IN BRAZIL, the authors elaborate on the
"Amazonian theory". 

Best wishes, 

Filipe
