Explanation:

The leishmaniases are a group of diseases caused by protozoan parasites from more than 20 Leishmania species.

These parasites are transmitted to humans by the bites of the infected female phlebotomine sandfly - a tiny – only 2–3 mm long – insect vector. There are three main forms of leishmaniasis: cutaneous, visceral or kala-azar, and mucocutaneous.

Most people infected by the parasite do not develop any symptom at all in their life. Therefore, the term leishmaniasis refers to the fact of becoming sick due to a Leishmania infection and not the mere fact of being infected with the parasite.
