Virus amps up parasite disease;http://f1000.com/8567956?key=7y5rvqlc9qsc3lk When the parasite that causes Leishmaniasis, a skin-ulcer disease transmitted by sandflies, is infected with a virus, it causes a more severe disease than when it is not infected, by triggering inflammatory cytokines in the host that paradoxically promote parasite's spread.
