Abstract
In this review, the basic principles of developing new approaches to leishmaniasis have been stated contrary to the available literature on Leishmania. In general, the morphology of parasites, life cycle, clinical forms, correspondence to epidemiology, and distribution according to species in the world were described. It has been expressed in various aspects of the interaction between host and parasite cell receptors. This plays an extremely important role in vaccine and drug development against leishmaniasis. Immunologically, natural immunocytes emphasize the importance of macrophages and dendritic cells in the Leishmania parasites’ immunopathology. This review will also discourse on the possibilities and necessity for the generation of new treatment technologies for leishmaniasis.
