The story of elimination of visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) in India-Challenges towards sustainment. by Shyam Sundar

“…As a corollary benefit, there was a sharp decline in the incidence of VL due to the reduced prevalence of the vector to extremely low levels, resulting in substantial decreases in the number of KA cases. In the early 1970s, a surge in the number of cases was noted, and since then, it has taken the shape of the current epidemic. …”
