Abstract

Leishmaniasis has been estimated to cause the ninth largest burden amongst global infectious diseases. Occurrence of the disease has been anecdotally associated with periods of conflict, leading to its referral as a disease of ‘guerrilla warfare.’ Despite this, there have been few studies that quantitatively investigate the extent to which leishmaniasis coincides with conflict or political terror.
