Leishmania amazonensis is a species of flagellum in the genus Leishmania. It can be found in regions of Northern South America, but is predominantly found in the Amazon region of Brazil.[1]
Infection
Leishmania Amazonensis has been found to be associated with multiple types of Leismaniasis, including cutaneous leishmaniasis, mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, post kalaazar dermal leishmaniasis and of significant note, visceral leishmaniasis. [2] Visceral leishmaniasis is the most deadly form of leishmaniasis and is thought to be carried by only a few species of Leishmania.

Monogenea
Monogenean are a group of ectoparasites that reside on the surface of their host. Being parasitic, they mainly infect aquatic vertebrates and are commonly found under gills of fish. Monogenean have both male and female reproductive organs, making them hermaphrodites.
Trematoda
Also known as flukes, these parasitic flatworms are very common and abundant. During the life cycle, they can have more than two hosts with their first being mainly snails. In their first intermediate host, they reproduced asexually. Only when they are in definitive host can sexual reproduction happens. Diseases such as fascioliasis and liver rot are some caused by F. hepatica and F. gigantica trematodes. [1]
Cestoda
Commonly known as tapeworms, they are found living in the intestines of vertebrates. Using the scolex with suctioning devices, they anchor themselves to the walls of the intestines. like Monogenean, Cestoda also has a reproductive system of both male and female. However, tapeworms reproduce both sexually and asexually (budding). Cysticercosis, an infection that creates cycsts in different parts in the body, is caused by ingesting of tapeworm eggs. [2]
