Killed but metabolically active Leishmania infantum as a novel whole-cell vaccine for visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
There are currently no effective vaccines for visceral leishmaniasis, the second most deadly parasitic infection in the world. Here, we describe a novel whole-cell vaccine approach using Leishmania infantum chagasi promastigotes treated with the psoralen
