Tripartite host-parasite-virus interactions reshape chronic visceral leishmaniasis through persistent Leptomonas seymouri co-infection
Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), caused by Leishmania donovani (LD), is increasingly associated with the insect-restricted trypanosomatid Leptomonas seymouri (LS), which harbours the RNA virus Leptomonas seymouri narna-like virus 1 (Lepsey NLV1).
