[ 1 ] - Construction of a Novel DNA Vaccine Candidate encoding LmSTI1-PpSP42 Fusion Protein from Leishmania major and Phlebotomus papatasi against Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a serious public health problem in many tropical countries. The infection is caused by a protozoan parasite of Leishmania genus transmitted by Phlebotominae sandflies. In the present study, we constructed a eukaryotic expression vector to produce a fusion protein containing LmSTI1 from Leishmania major (L. major) and PpSP42 from Phlebotomus papatasi (...
