Popis: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is characterized by expansion of myeloid cells in the liver and spleen, which leads to a severe splenomegaly associated with higher risk of mortality. This increased cellularity is thought to be a consequence of recruitment of cells to the viscera. We studied whether the local proliferation of splenic myeloid cells contributes to increased splenic cellularity. We found that a monocyte-like population of adherent splenic cells from Leishmania donovani-infected hamsters had enhanced replicative capacity ex vivo and in vivo (BrdU incorporation, p
