It lowers immunity, causes persistent fever, anemia, liver and spleen enlargement, and if left untreated, it kills. The vector thrives in cracks and crevices of mud plastered houses, poor housing conditions, heaps of cow dung, in rat burrows, in bushes and vegetations around the houses. Diagnosis is done by clinical features of the disease in an endemic area confirmed by either demonstration of the parasite in the splenic aspirate or indirect tests.
