Abstract

Leishmania parasites are transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies and can cause diverse clinical manifestations known as leishmaniasis. Drug resistance/toxicity and Leishmania/HIV coinfection call for a safe, effective vaccine. Recent research focuses on generating vaccines targeted on parasite- or sand fly-derived components. Defining the optimal combinations of antigens and adjuvants that elicit durable cellular immunity is critical for the control of leishmaniasis.
