An investigation of 5-fluorouracil resistance in Leishmania and Trypanosoma species

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic vector-borne disease caused by the Leishmania parasite, which resides in female sandflies. African sleeping sickness or African trypanosomiasis is also a parasitic disease but it is spread by the tsetse fly (Glossina species). Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis is a tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and spread by insects called kissing bugs, Triatominae. Drug resista...
