Exploring Host-Specificity: Untangling the relationship between Leishmania (Viannia) species and its endosymbiont Leishmania RNA Virus 1

2023-08-09

Abstract excerpt

A relevant aspect in the epidemiology of Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (TL) is the Leishmania parasites carrying a viral endosymbiont Leishmania RNA Virus 1 (LRV1), a dsRNA virus. Leishmania parasites carrying LRV1 are prone to causing more severe TL symptoms, increasing the likelihood of unfavorable clinical outcomes. LRV1 has been observed in cultured strains of five L. (Viannia) species, and host specificity was su...
