Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by single-celled parasites in the genus Leishmania. More than 20 different species of Leishmania infect humans, with several occurring within the same geographical area. The disease is spread when an infected sand fly feeds on a susceptible mammalian host. Leishmania parasites are injected into the mammalian host during a blood meal; upon entry into the body, the parasites infect white blood cells, macrophages. Leishmaniasis symptoms vary and may elicit: no symptoms, skin sores, weight loss, fever, internal organ enlargement, or death depending on the species of parasite and susceptibility of the host. Previous experiments have shown that the susceptible BALB/c mouse, infected with a low dose o...
