Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is not vaccine‐preventable and lethal when left untreated. This study demonstrated that parasites activate and attach to B cells and differentiate into amastigote‐like stages that can be transferred to other host cells. Infection increased B cell progenitors in the bone marrow and all analyzed B cell subsets of the spleen ...
