Explanation

Kala-azar, also known as visceral leishmaniasis, is caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. It is transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies (Phlebotomus species). The disease affects internal organs like spleen, liver, and bone marrow, and can be fatal if untreated.
