Leishmania donovani
Dum-dum fever, kal-azar, visceral leishmania; these are names for the sometimes fatal disease that is caused by the parasite known as Leishmania donovani. ... Even though this is the first official record of an occurance of Leishmania donovani, it would be incorrect to say that leishmaniasis did not occur before this. ... Cunningham recorded a similar disease that occurred in 1885, caused my a parasite which was later named Leishmania tropica, the caustic agent of cutaneous leishmaniais. Nicolle in 1908 reported that mammals including dogs could act as reservoir hosts for the leishmania parasite. Swaminath et al in 1942, proved using human volunteers that the leishmania could be transmitted by the phlebotomus sandflies.
