Factores que inciden en la urbanización de la leishmaniosis cutánea en el ecuador y vigilancia epidemiologica año 2019

Abstract

This study is based on determining the risk factors that affect the Urbanization of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Ecuador year 2019 and at the same time know the Epidemiological Surveillance raised against this disease. An Analytical, Non-experimental, Transversal method will be used, obtaining the information and statistical data from the collection of multiple scientific articles from scientific and indexed journals. The search will be carried out in the Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane database. Leishmaniasis called Tropical and subtropical disease is transmitted by the fly called Lutzomyia or also known in Ecuador as white blanket that produces the infection after chopping the skin by inoculating the parasites and initially forming the nodule and then the ulcer; affects approximately more than 1000 people per year in Ecuador, according to the latest statistical record of the MSP year 2018. Its incidence is increasing in our country due to multiple factors among these is local mobility to mountainous areas either by sport or hunting, ecological tourism, for the construction of dams, without neglecting to emphasize the climatic conditions, temperature, humidity that also promotes much to their appearance because their vectors live in humid warm zones, with presence of abundant vegetation and organic matter excluding thus the theory that the infection is urbanizing, since this vector is only typical of mountainous areas.
