Cutaneous leishmaniasis is expressed as a myriad of disease manifestations which depend upon parasite species, host responses, and poorly understood host-parasite-vector interactions. Several species of Leishmania are capable of infecting humans and causing disease. This article is mainly focused on describing detailed characteristics of Leishmania parasite and vector (sandfly) transmitting the parasite to humans. Host-parasite-vector inter-relationship is also briefly touched in the article.Downloads
