Antimony susceptible Leishmania donovani: evidence from in vitro drug susceptibility of parasites isolated from patients of post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis in pre- and post-miltefosine era

ABSTRACT Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) patients are a key source of Leishmania donovani parasites, hindering the goal of eliminating visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Monitoring treatment response and parasite susceptibility is essential due to increasing drug resistance. We assessed the dru...
