(Zaman Al Wasl)- Leishmaniasis disease has spread in the eastern town of al-Myadeen due to the piles of rubbish and lack of medical care, activists told Zaman al-Wasl, reporting more than 70 cases.
The ‘intracellular protozoan parasite’ spread in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor due to the bites of sandfly which multiple strongly in north and eastern Syria.
50 children have been infected by the Leishmaniasis amid mounting difficulties in treatment, activists told Zaman al-Wasl.
Leishmaniasis can present in three main ways: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral leishmaniasis.
Leishmania, locally known as Habbat Halab, or Aleppo Boil, appears in different parts of the body with face, hands and feet.
Since the Syrian revolution erupted in 2011, more than 470,000 people have been killed, and more than 6 million people have been displaced.
