The effect of UV radiation in the presence of TiO2-NPs on Leishmania major promastigotes

Conclusion: The combined treatment with UV- radiation and TiO2-NPs can be effective in killing the promastigotes of Leishmania major. The proper concentration of NPs and the type of UV-radiation must be taken into consideration. The results suggest improved treatment methods, after proper in vivo studies.Graphical abstract
