Leishmania tarentolae: A new frontier in the epidemiology and control of the leishmaniases
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e1326-e1337, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Leishmaniasis (or the leishmaniases), classified as a neglected tropical parasitic disease, is found in parts of the tropics, subtropics and southern Europe. Leishmania parasites are transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies and million cases of human infection occur annually.
