“The chapters in this book are appropriate for beginning students and seasoned Leishmania researchers alike. … This could serve as an excellent foundation for those who are new to the field of Leishmania and a tremendous source of reference for more advanced researchers. It is well organized, chapters are well written and referenced, and there is minimal overlap between chapters.” (Ivy Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, August 16, 2019)
