First Serological Study Revealing High Humoral Response and Evidence for Antigenic Heterogeneity in Induced CL in Sri Lanka.

Posing a threat to the ongoing leishmaniasis elimination efforts in the Indian subcontinent, -induced cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has been recently reported in many countries. Sri Lanka reports a large focus of human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by usually visceralizing parasite. Enhanced case detection, early treatment, and in-depth understanding of sequalae are required to contain the spread of disease.

Prevalidation of an ELISA for Detection of a New Clinical Entity: -Induced Cutaneous Leishmaniasis.

Human leishmaniasis which is considered a neglected tropical parasitic disease presents in three main clinical forms (i.e., cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL), and visceral leishmaniasis (VL)) that are mainly determined by its causative species.
