Genomics and spatial surveillance of Chagas disease and American visceral leishmaniasis

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The Trypanosomatidae are a family of parasitic protozoa that infect various animals and plants. Several species within the Trypanosoma and Leishmania genera also pose a major threat to human health. Among these are Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum, aetiological agents of the highly debilitating and often deadly vector-borne zoonoses Chagas disease and American visceral leishmaniasis. Current treatment opt...
