Abstract
Development of new colonization areas is increasing in the tropical Lowlands of Bolivia. They are located easterly on the Amazonian side of the Andes Cordilleras and are covered mainly by primary rain forest. Most of the colonization process is spontaneous with no planning whatsoever. as a consequence of spontaneous migration and settling, no basic health care is available in most instances. Therefore it was felt necessary to implement specific studies on leishmaniasis straight away by a community health care (CHC) project.
