Aim:
knowing the origin of the outbreak of
Leishmaniasis occurred in 2009-2014 in the Autonomous
Community of Madrid (CAM) and publicizes the patterns of
disease prevention.
Methods:
A
literature review was performed using several databases using different
descriptors related to the outbreak of
Leishmaniasis in the CAM happened between 2009 -2014.
Results:
A total of 177 studies on
Leishmaniasis, of which 29 studies analyze relevant aspects of
Leishmaniasis were obtained. Studies claim that the modification by
humans of the great green landscapes and progress in the
construction of new highways and commuter networks along with
weather conditions might have been relevant in explaining the
spatial behavior of the outbreak, contributing to the creation of a favorable
ecosystem for the
growth and stabilization of a new urban cycle
Leishmaniasis. The only effective preventive
measure is to act adequately to prevent
mosquito bites.
Conclusions:
It is noteworthy that for the creation of a new urban cycle
Leishmaniasis may have contributed relevant factors such as
population growth, the presence of large
green spaces peri recent
construction and building extensive rail and road
infrastructure . Although it has worked actively and jointly from the
Health Authorities and have decreased the number of cases, the problem has not been eradicated, therefore it
plays an important
role the dissemination and implementation of preventive
measures is essential that people know how to act (AU)
