A novel <i>Leishmania infantum</i> reference strain for gene editing and the study of visceral leishmaniasis

2025-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Parasites of the Leishmania donovani complex are responsible for visceral leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease transmitted through the bite of female phlebotomine sand flies. As well as the human hosts, these parasites infect many mammals which can serve as reservoirs. Dogs are particularly important reservoirs in Europe. Transmission is widespread across Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Me...
