Leishmania infantum amastigotes trigger a subpopulation of human B cells with an immunoregulatory phenotype.
Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by the protozoan parasites Leishmania infantum and Leishmania donovani. This infection is characterized by an uncontrolled parasitization of internal organs which, when left untreated, leads to death. Disease progression is linked with the type of immune response gen...
