abstract

  • ABSTRACTLeishmania majorandLeishmania braziliensisboth cause cutaneous leishmaniasis, but the former kills BALB/c mice while the latter is killed by the mice. This killing ofL. braziliensisoccurred by a gamma interferon-dependent mechanism, potentially made possible by the observed lack of high interleukin-4 production.
