They are responsible for a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations: cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral.

- Leishmania donovani complex Unlike other Leishmania species causing the integumentary forms of the disease (L. major, L. brasiliensis, ...) that affect the dermis or mucous membranes, leishmanias of the donovani complex have an ability to spread to all deep organs (liver, spleen, ganglion and bone marrow) where they multiply.
- Visceral leishmaniasis also affects the canine population, which is a reservoir of parasites supplying the cycle of transmission continuously. It is due to L. infantum / chagasi, a species responsible for a zoonosis of domestic and wild canids widespread throughout the world. It affects millions of dogs in Europe, Asia, North Africa and South America. Symptomatic dogs, but also asymptomatic, constitute a source of parasites for the transmission of LV in humans.
