N2  - An expert report on all aspects of the health problems posed by the leishmaniases. The report opens with compact information on these diseases, their clinical forms, pathology in man, and the host-parasite relationship. The geographical distribution of the leishmaniases is profiled in a series of tables and maps. Other sections focus on public health aspects and summarize current knowledge on the parasites, the reservoir animals, the vectors, epidemiology, and methods of surveillance and control. Readers are also given advice on the labelling of leishmania isolates, on methods of isolation and cryopreservation, and on sources of standards
