Resumen:
This article reviewed, from the eco-epidemiological point of view, the papers
available about tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) in Argentina since the first
reported outbreak (1985-1987), including unpublished data. Three time-space
scales were discriminated for analytical purposes: 1) region/decade, 2) epidemic
foci/year, 3) capture station/day/month. Regional: It was observed an
incremental trend of the incidence, of the peridomestic transmission, of the
outbreak frequency and distribution (east-west), simultaneously with the
dispersion and prevalence of Lutzomyia neivai, vector of Leishmania braziliensis,Regional: It was observed an

in modified environments. Epidemic foci: three transmission scenarios were
defined and characterized: 1) forest cycle/forest transmission, 2) forest
cycle/peridomestic transmission, 3) peridomestic cycle/rural and peri-urban
peridomestic transmission. Each outbreak reported in Argentina was assigned to
one out of the three scenarios. Capture station: Lu. neivai distribution probed to
be microfocal, it behaves as a metapopulation that can recolonize the
peridomestic environment from source populations, with bimodal annual dynamics
dependant of the temperature and rainfall. The conclusions in each scale and
category were discussed in the frame of potential surveillance and control
strategies.Epidemic foci: three transmission scenarios were
