- Abstract
- It is known that there is a genetic basis for the spectrum of disease severity in cutaneous leishmaniasis. Here, Emanuela Handman and coworkers show that this association is polygenic, and they have identified 3 loci associated with susceptibility. The nature of the response required for successful vaccination is also discussed.
