A defined subunit vaccine that protects against vector-borne visceral leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis: Improved vaccine candidate demonstrates protection A research collaboration between the United States and Bangladesh has improved its own vaccine candidate and demonstrated it to be effective. The vaccine’s target, visceral leishmaniasis, is a deadly parasitic disease transmitted via...

The vaccine’s target, visceral leishmaniasis, is a deadly parasitic disease transmitted via the bites of sandflies. The collaboration, led by Steven Reed of the United States’ Infectious Disease Research Institute, previously developed a vaccine that presents two parasite-derived proteins (antigens) to a host’s immune system, allowing it to build a defense.
