Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most common clinical form of leishmaniasis that causes skin disease. Currently, there is no licensed prophylactic vaccine for CL, as the mechanisms of healing and memory T-cell responses that develop after infection with CL are far from fully understood. A review of the published articles identifying CL vaccine candidates, immuno-dominant antigens and potent vaccine adjuvants is needed to provide comprehensive information. Therefore, we aimed to review vaccine candidates, immuno-dominant antigens and potent vaccine adjuvants for preventing cutaneous leishmaniasis. First-generation vaccine candidates showed complete protection of the specified animal model. They induced strong T-cell mediated and antibody-mediated humoral immune responses (e.g. Curdlan dectin-1, Total Leishmania Antigen (TLA) and L. infantum heat shock.. View more»
