Abstract excerpt
Currently, there is no approved vaccine for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by L. donovani. The ability to manipulate Leishmania genome by eliminating or introducing genes necessary for parasites' survival considered as the powerful strategy to generate the live attenuated vaccine. In the present study fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (LdFBPase) gene deleted L. donovani (Δfbpase) was generated using homologous gene...
