Abstract

The capacity to infect and survive in a wide variety of host cells is amongst the strategies that contribute to pathogen persistence. The recent study by Karagiannis et al. presents an unbiased approach to identify infected cells in a visceral leishmaniasis (VL) infection, which revealed parasites in unexpected host cells.
