Abstract

 We estimated the time delay for the appearance of the first case of Leishmaniosis among humans   since the appearance of the disease among dogs. It is observed that the first case among humans occurs when   the prevalence among dogs reaches critical value. We developed a SIR-type (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered)   deterministic model taking into account two vertebrate hosts (humans and dogs) and one invertebrate vector   (insect Lutzomyia). The model is simulated using Matlab® software, in which model parameters are obtained   from Andradina, Araçatuba, São Paulo-Brazil and the northeast regions of the Province of Salta, Argentina. We   also estimated the basic reproduction number Ro for both regions.
