• Unhealthy Landscapes: Policy Recommendations on Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence (2004, background): “Other dangers include antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as Cyclospora, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and other pathogenic E. coli strains associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome in children (Dols et al. 2001).”
• Visceral leishmaniasis: what are the needs for diagnosis, treatment and control? (2007, background): “Migration, lack of control measures and HIV–VL co-infection ( Box 1 ) are the three main factors driving the increased incidence of V”
• Laboratory Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis (2002, background): “Moreover, the number of new host populations, i.e., populations of immunodeficient HIV-infected patients, is increasing, especially in southern Europe and Africa (21, 22).”
• Drug Resistance in Leishmaniasis (2006, neutral): “Increasing numbers of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfections, human migration, and resettlement, especially important where leishmaniasis is zoonotic, make resurgence a possibility (47).”
• Phlebotomine sandflies and the spreading of leishmaniases and other diseases of public health concern (2013, background): “Massive migration from the high plateau to low tropical areas in the Andean region, intensive deforestation and the establishment of new settlements have greatly contributed to the increase in numbers of cases (Desjeux, 2001; AagaardHansen et al., 2010).”
• Preventing disease through healthy environments: a global assessment of the burden of disease from environmental risks (2016, background): “sandflies often live in the peri-domestic environment using wall cracks and crevices to lay their eggs, and in compounds where cattle are kept close to living quarters (Bucheton et al, 2002; desjeux, 2001; Warburg & Faiman, 2011).”
