Morisco healers faced demonization but never a medical-murder conspiracy charge.

Evidence

Although they were frequently accused of demonic links, morisco healers and medical practitioners were not accused of a conspiracy of medical murder. The best efforts of Pedro de Vesga and Jaime Bleda in the early seventeenth century to claim that a Muslim medical conspiracy existed reveal themselves, on careful examination, to be nothing more than a desperate ploy to exploit the anti-judeoconverso legend to suit their anti-morisco agenda. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 422
