Parasite genotype is a major predictor of mortality from visceral leishmaniasis

2022-08-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Abstract/Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a potentially fatal disease mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in South America and L. donovani in Asia and Africa. Disease outcomes have been associated with patient genotype, nutrition, age, sex, comorbidities, and co-infections. In this study, we examine the effects of parasite genetic variation on VL disease severity in Brazil....
