<DIV>I presume that this would be very much akin to what happened in Afghanistan a couple of decades ago, with the conflict destroying the health infrastructure, affecting access to diagnosis and treatment, and --given the parasite being transmitted anthroponotically-- increases of cases are to be expected.</DIV>
