Abstract
Leishmaniasis has been estimated to cause the ninth largest burden amongst global
infectious diseases. Occurrence of the disease has been anecdotally associated with
periods of conflict, leading to its referral as a disease of 'guerrilla warfare.'
Despite this, there have been few studies that quantitatively investigate the extent
to which leishmaniasis coincides with conflict or political terror.
