| Abstract |
Many infectious diseases are associated with parasite persistence, often restricted to certain tissue sites, yet the determinants of such persistence are poorly understood. Infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani has proved a useful experimental tool to address how immune responses can be differentially effective in clearing parasites from different tissues and, conversely, it might also provide a good model for understanding the basis of parasite persistence. This article reviews recent studies on the determinants and consequences of persistent parasite infection in the spleen and suggest that some of the messages to emerge could have important implications for the study of a broad range of infectious diseases. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 December 2020.
All research outputs
#8,533,995
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Trends in Parasitology
#1,305
of 2,303 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,613
of 74,808 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Trends in Parasitology
#8
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,303 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.6. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 74,808 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
