  abstract = {{I}n leishmaniasis, cysteine protease b (cpb) multicopy genes have been extensively studied because of their implication in host-parasite interactions. {I}n the {L}eishmania donovani complex, responsible for visceral. leishmaniasis, a set of interesting polymorphisms has been revealed, such as copy sequence or expression according to the parasite's life stage. {T}he single nucleotide polymorphisms observed among these copies could be related to clinical characteristics such as dermotropic versus viscerotropic status. {CPB} {COOH}-terminal extension ({CTE}) is mainly responsible for genetic variability among the copies and appears highly immunogenic. {T}hese results suggest that further study of the role of {CPB}s, especially {CTE} in clinical outcome, is warranted.},
