Public Health Policies on American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis

I dedicate this book to my dear parents, Cassiano and Inêz, for always loving me so much and being the facilitators for all my achievements and victories. They have always shown me light and love along the way. My father, always a faithful companion and encourager, and especially my mother, for making me believe and not letting me give up, as well as being my angel, my advocate, always interceding directly to make my dreams come true. To my brothers, who have always been my loves. To my husband Iorram and, finally, to my beloved children Joمo Pedro and Lavيnia, who, for the simple reason that they exist, allow me to know about infinite and true love.
