ABSTRACT
The protozoan genus Leishmania, which belongs to the Trypanosomiases family, is the source of the infectious parasitic disease leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is third in importance among vector-borne diseases worldwide, behind malaria and sleeping sickness. Leishmaniasis is treated with a variety of drugs, however side effects and drug resistance have been noted. There are countless opportunities to find new drugs to cure infectious diseases by researching plant remedies. Some plant medicines and natural products have a new candidate for treatment of leishmaniasis. Medicinal plants are believed to be an important source of new chemical substances with potential therapeutic effects. This review work is focused on the therapeutically active plants which are used in the treatment of leishmaniasis and have less side effects and less cost.
Keywords: Leishmania, vector-borne, Promastigote, Amastigotes, Visceral.
