Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to identify and estimate the effects of environmental risk factors for the development to active leishmaniasis. We prepared mice with malnutrition and intestinal parasitism and monitored nutrient and immunological status. These mice were subcutaneously challenged with L. major and no significant difference among the groups of mice was observed. Further study will be carried out in Bangladesh, one of the endemic countries of leishmaniasis.
