Abstract
Now is a good time to reconsider research priorities as 2015 approaches, the target date originally set for elimination of visceral leishmaniasis. Visceral leishmaniasis is one of the most deadly parasitic diseases and disproportionately affects the poorest and most vulnerable populations. An estimated 200 000–400 000 people contract visceral leishmaniasis every year in developing countries. Spread by sandflies, visceral leishmaniasis can be fought with existing interventions, including treatment and vector control, but, similarly to every other human parasitic disease, no effective vaccine exists.
