Leishmaniasis vaccine information

A Leishmaniasis vaccine is a vaccine which would prevent leishmaniasis. As of 2017, no vaccine for humans was available.[1][2] Currently some effective leishmaniasis vaccines for dogs exist.[3]

The parasite which causes leishmaniasis is Leishmania, which is a Trypanosomatida. The disease spreads from sandflies. Animals such as dogs can be a vector for having the parasite, spreading it to sandflies, and from sandflies to humans. A vaccination strategy to control or eliminate Leishmaniasis might include developing a vaccine for humans and other vaccines for animals.

Scientists wish for a vaccine and there is vaccine research.[4] There is also consideration that public health practices can control or eliminate leishmaniasis without a vaccine.[4]
