Abstract excerpt
Leishmania infantum chagasi is the primary etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis in Latin America, a lethal disease that afflicts hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year. Previous studies have shown that the parasite releases microvesicles known as exosomes, which prolong and exacerbate infection in the vertebrate vector. However, little is known of their role in the insect vector, the sand fly...
