These studies were conducted by an interdisciplinary team of biologists, zoologists, chemists and doctors since 1987.
According to Borda said 56 percent of patients live in urban areas. All this information was provided to the Ministry of Public Health of the Province during the previous administration and municipal authorities are aware because they work in conjunction with the CENPETROP, which is why it is striking that were not taken preventive measures to the progression of leishmaniasis.

"We must deepen the training of professionals on leishmaniasis because many patients had a long journey until they had a proper diagnosis," he said, adding "we need to relearn humility."
In addition to information and training of medical professionals, Borda urged the authorities in advance and census records of dogs and cats to determine the number that exist in the city.
