Article Synopsis
  • Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis causes various types of leishmaniasis, and the study investigates how different subpopulations (Thor03, Thor10, Thor22) affect disease progression in BALB/c mice.
  • The research found that after three weeks of infection, Thor03 and Thor10 led to larger lesions and influenced immune response markers, showing lower IL-12 and TNF levels, while Thor10 had the highest IL-10 levels.
  • The study concluded that these subpopulations might lead to mild footpad lesions but can persist in lymph nodes, highlighting differences in infection patterns and immune responses among the subpopulations.
