Article Synopsis
- Infection with Leishmania can lead to various health issues, with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) being the most severe form and challenging to control due to numerous vectors and reservoirs.
- Efforts to develop a vaccine are complicated due to the differing production platforms for potential vaccine candidates, but researchers have successfully expressed seven candidate proteins in E. coli and confirmed they are recognized by VL patients.
- A combined chimeric fusion protein from three effective antigens showed promise in protecting mice against L. donovani infection, presenting a new potential candidate for VL vaccination strategies.
