• Phlebotomine sandflies and the spreading of leishmaniases and other diseases of public health concern (2013, background): “…immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the increasing use of immunosuppressive therapies have substantially contributed to an increase in numbers of VL cases from southern Europe to India (Alvar et al., 2008), whereas changes in sandfly populations can be assumed to have no specific role in these events.”
• Drug resistance and treatment failure in leishmaniasis: A 21st century challenge (2017, background): “For example, because an effective immune response is required to support anti-leishmanial drugs, patients with immunodeficiency can be particularly hard to cure [16].”
• Neglected Tropical Diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa: Review of Their Prevalence, Distribution, and Disease Burden (2009, background): “VL is also an important opportunistic infection associated with HIV/AIDS in East Africa [41], especially in the Tigray region on the Sudan–Eritrea border where soldiers and seasonal workers sleep outdoors in sandflyinfested areas [43].”
