Abstract
Leishmania is a parasitic protozoan which causes severe disease in humans and dogs. Screening of new compounds against leishmaniasis is particularly needed to determine the toxicity of some existing drugs and the appearance of drug-resistant strains. Reliable and simple in vitro models are required for large-scale initial screenings. In this review different methods for in vitro evaluation of drug activity against Leishmania spp. are summarized.Entities:
