Giant Microbes, Leishmania
SKU: 23349
|
Overview
Leishmania tropica is a tropical parasite that is primarily transmitted to humans by the bite of a sandfly. It is found in most tropical and sub-tropical countries around the world.
The most common manifestation of a leishmania infection is cutaneous leishmaniasis. While it typically consists of a large skin sore near the site of the initial sandfly bite, when the sores form in the soft tissues of the nose and mouth, severe damage and disfigurement can occur. Be careful on your next tropical vacation -- one bite from a tropical sand fly can ruin your complexion!
