Article Synopsis
- Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a serious disease that affects a lot of people, especially in Brazil, where many cases are found in the São Paulo state.
- Researchers studied VL in 45 areas to see how it spreads by looking at both human and dog cases, as well as factors like the environment.
- They discovered that certain areas, especially Teodoro Sampaio, have higher rates of the disease, and found that there are 11 regions where efforts should be increased to help control and monitor VL.
