A research coordinated by the UAB has succeeded in testing a vaccine against leishmaniasis. The vaccine was tested with the best animal model existing, the golden hamster, and can be produced at low costs by using insect larvae. The research, published in the latest edition of PLoS ONE, is an important step towards the fight against a disease which causes the death of 70,000 people each year in developing countries and of countless dogs, which also suffer from this disease and are its natural reservoir. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-12-successful-results-human-leishmaniasis-efficient.html Diseases, Conditions, Syndromes Wed, 19 Dec 2012 09:27:12 EST news275131626
