ABSTRACT

The impact of climate change on humans is ever greater, ironically because of anthropogenic factors such as globalization. In the case of vectorborne diseases as leishmaniases, the climate change (CC) can affect their epidemiology by shifting the biology and ecology of its vectors, reservoirs and pathogens. In this descriptive review, a search was made in BioMed Central, PubMed and Biblioteca virtual em saúde and aims to provide information available about the effect of CC on incidence and seasonal and spatial distribution of the leishmaniases, the pathogen and its vectors, and how it can impact the emergence and resurgence of this disease in Latin American countries, highlighting the problem in Mexico. Information generated from 2002 to 2021 was collected from scientific data bases. We found 48 articles, including six review articles. The great potential of leishmaniasis to expand its geographic distribution ranges, variation of its transmission cycles, substantial increase in the number of cases and increase in the investment for the exploration of alternatives of its treatment and control, this has caused that leishmaniasis leave the “neglected diseases” status and be re-categorized as “emerging diseases”.
