Parasites are deposited in the skin by the bite of a sand-fly. These parasites (leishmania) produce a local sore at the site of the bite and migrate throughout the body, causing tissue destruction at distant sites. Leishmania are considered by some physicians to be at the root of the Gulf syndrome.
