Leptospirosis research and findings

Leishmaniasis occurs not only in American travelers and military personnel alike but infects a significant portion of the world's population. The US military has made major contributions to the understanding of the complicated epidemiology of this parasite, the development of rapid reliable diagnostic tests, and to the development of safe, more efficient, and more effective treatment of leishmaniasis.
