The interaction between polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) or neutrophils and Leishmania became an interesting focus of research, since PMN turn out to be essential cells in transiently hosting the parasites. This study aims to evaluate whether L. infantum, the etiological agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis, influences the in vitro functional activity of murine neutrophils. Phagocytosis, chemotaxis, […]
