Studies claim that the modification by humans of the great green landscapes and progress in the construction of new highways and commuter networks along with weather conditions might have been relevant in explaining the spatial behavior of the outbreak, contributing to the creation of a favorable ecosystem for the growth and stabilization of a new urban cycle Leishmaniasis. The only effective preventive measure is to act adequately to prevent mosquito bites.
