Studies on The Interaction of leishmania Parasites With Human Chemokines

Abstract

Since times immemorial, mankind has been plagued by epidemics. They came in different forms and swept through civilization in the form of outbreaks leaving a tale of devastation in their trail, often in catastrophic proportions. The curse of the gods, as epidemics were known in most early civilizations, brought a shudder of fear to every soul from kings to paupers. The curse spared none.
