Visceral leishmaniasis, also known as kala-azar, is a vector borne disease caused by the protozoan parasite, L. donovani. Poor and neglected populations in Indian sub-continent are particularly affected by this disease. Due to the diversity of epidemiological situations, no single diagnosis, treatment, or control will be suitable for all. Control measures through case findings, treatment, and vector control are seldom used, even where they could be useful. Modern tools like telehealth, using space technology, have now come in handy to address issues of disease surveillance, control checking, and evaluation. The present study focuses on telehealth as a current vector control strategy, perspectives on diagnosis, treatment, and control of visceral leishmaniasis as these deserve more attention and research.
内脏利什曼病，又称黑热病，是一种由原生动物寄生虫利什曼原虫引起的媒介传播疾病。印度次大陆的贫困和被忽视的人群特别容易受到这种疾病的影响。由于流行病学情况的多样性，没有单一的诊断、治疗或控制方法适用于所有情况。在可以使用的地方，通过病例发现、治疗和病媒控制等措施来控制疾病的情况很少见。现在，像远程医疗这样的现代工具，利用空间技术，已经派上了用场，可以解决疾病监测、控制检查和评估等问题。本研究重点关注远程医疗作为一种当前的病媒控制策略，以及对内脏利什曼病的诊断、治疗和控制的看法，因为这些问题需要更多的关注和研究。
