Systematic assessment of the role of host genes in clinico-pathological and immunological manifestations of Leishmania major-induced disease in mice was performed using 20 recombinant congenic (RC) strains. As the RC strains are homozygous and each carries a different, random set of 12.5% genes from the resistant strain, STS/A, and 87.5% genes from the susceptible strain, BALB/cHeA, they allowed us to study the...
