Abstract

Cytokines play a decisive role in the regulation of the immune response directed against Leishmania infantum, determining the prevention or progression of the infection. This review focuses on advances in the canine immune response knowledge over the recent years and examines the principal role of the cytokine pattern elicited after infection with L. infantum.
