Identification of adipocytes as target cells for Leishmania infantum parasites

Scientific Reports, 2021
Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis transmitted by the bite of female sand flies. According to the WHO, the estimated annual incidence of leishmaniasis is one million new cases, resulting in 30,000 deaths per year.
