Anti-leishmanial effect of nanosilver solutions on Leishmania tropica promastigotes by in-vitro assay

Abstract

Background: At present, nanosilver particles are used against a broad spectrum of microbial agents. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-leishmanial effect of nanosilver solutions on L. tropica promastigotes as compared with the trivalent antimony compound by colorimetric assay.
