Infection with the intracellular protozoan parasite *Leishmania mexicana*causes chronic disease in C57BL/6 mice, in which cutaneous lesions persist for many months with high parasite burdens (107–108 parasites).

These changes decrease IFN-γ from T cells and nitric oxide production in infected cells, which are both required for *Leishmania* control. However, antibod... more »
