Key Points

To synthesize current scientific understanding of leishmaniasis pathophysiology, evaluate modern diagnostic approaches, and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies.
Reviewed cellular and immunological mechanisms of Leishmania infection and disease progression.
Assessed diagnostic modalities alongside current pharmacological regimens, resistance mechanisms, and novel drug targets.
Current antileishmanial drugs continue to be limited by high toxicity, variable efficacy, and increasing parasite drug resistance.
Emerging strategies—including nanotechnology-based delivery systems and host-directed therapies—demonstrate strong potential to improve treatment outcomes.
