Genetic introgression and transcriptomic plasticity are associated with enhanced <i>Leishmania infantum</i> pathogenicity causing human cutaneous leishmaniasis in Tunisia

2026-06-22

Abstract excerpt

The protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum exhibits significant genetic variability among isolates, influencing disease manifestation and treatment response. Although L. infantum is classically described as the causative agent of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) – often associated with immune deficiency, cases of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) caused by this species in immunocompetent individuals have been reported in...
