Evidence that interspecies <i>Leishmania</i> hybrids contribute to changes in disease pathology

2020-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Leishmaniasis is a widespread neglected tropical disease present in over 90 countries with diverse pathologies associated with different species of Leishmania parasites transmitted by infected sand flies. Leishmania donovani causes visceral leishmaniasis, a highly virulent fatal infection of the visceral organs. Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica cause less virulent cutaneous leishman...
