Diversity and within-host evolution of parasites from VL and VL/HIV patients in Northern Ethiopia

2021-04-06

Abstract excerpt

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a fatal disease and a growing public health problem in East Africa, where Ethiopia has one of the highest VL burdens. The largest focus of VL in Ethiopia is driven by high prevalence in migrant agricultural workers and associated with a high rate of co-infection with HIV. This co-infection makes VL more difficult to treat successfully, and is associated with a high rate of relapse, w...
