The genus I Leishmania i (Trypanosomatida: Trypanosomatidae) currently comprises just over 50 species, of which about 20 cause several syndromes in humans, collectively known as leishmaniasis or "leishmaniases". The special edition on Advances in I Leishmania i Research: From Basic Parasite Biology to Disease Control also contains two reviews that address relevant subjects such as the impact of host-parasite interactions and parasite-parasite interactions in parasite biology and infectivity [[15]], and also a second review that introduces the concept of vesicle depleted exoproteome (VDE) [[15]]. In this Special Issue of I Microorganisms i , on Advances in I Leishmania i Research: From Basic Parasite Biology to Disease Control, we have invited original contributions in I Leishmania i research on basic parasite biology, drug and vaccine development, host-parasite interactions, epidemiology, and leishmaniasis diagnosis. Overall, the main goal of this Special Issue has been accomplished, providing new and exciting current research on I Leishmania i parasites and the diseases they cause and strongly suggesting that control must be an integrated approach, whether in humans or in other animals, as an example of One Health approach to leishmaniasis.
