The common name for leishmaniasis is "sandfly disease." It is caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania and is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected sandflies. The disease can manifest in different forms, including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis, depending on the species of the parasite and the immune response of the host.
