ular vesicles come along too, and are confronted by our immune system.
Studying extracellular vesicles may provide vital information for the development of new Leishmania therapies or a vaccine.
Mandatory reporting of canine leishmaniosis cases by veterinarians, easy access to fast and reliable diagnostic tests and appropriate treatments and an overhaul of animal importation regulations are critical.
A “One Health” approach, requiring the collaboration of human, animal, and environmental health partners, is key to preventing Leishmania cases in Canada and the U.S.
