The paper demonstrates drug tolerance in Leishmania braziliensis strains through in vitro models, showing quiescence and reversibility without genetic resistance.

This study shows that parasite hybridization in cutaneous leishmaniasis increases the spread of endosymbiotic viruses, contributing to disease severity.

This paper develops a method to directly sequence Leishmania genomes from clinical samples, revealing genomic differences between intracellular parasites and cultured isolates.
