An overview of host immune responses against Leishmania spp. infections.
Leishmania spp. infections pose a significant global health challenge, affecting approximately 1 billion people across more than 88 endemic countries. This unicellular, obligate intracellular parasite causes a spectrum of diseases, ranging from localized cutaneous lesions to systemic visceral infections. Despite advancements in modern medicine and increased understanding of the parasite's etiology and associated diseases, treatment options remain limited to pentavalent antimonials, liposomal amphotericin B, and miltefosine. A deeper understanding of the interactions between immune and non-immune cells involved in the clearance of Leishmania spp. infections could uncover novel therapeutic strategies for this debilitating disease. This review highlights recent progress in elucidating how various cell types contribute to the regulation and resolution of Leishmania spp. infections.
