Insights on genomic profiles of drug resistance and virulence in a cohort of <i>Leishmania infantum</i> isolates from the Mediterranean area

2025-01-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Drug-resistant strains of Leishmania infantum challenge the effectiveness of treatments for clinical leishmaniosis and may lead to more frequent relapses. Copy number variation (CNV) at specific genetic loci is associated with drug resistance and virulence, but information about its prevalence in endemic regions is limited. This study examines the drug resistance and virulence status of Leis...
