Resumo

As leishmanioses são doenças causadas por parasitos do gênero Leishmania sp. O grande número dos estudos na construção do conhecimento sobre as formas clí­nicas das leishmanioses, principalmente na área da Imunologia, contribui para a compreensão dos processos imunológicos envolvidos na reposta í s infecções por Leishmania. Propostas de vacinas e tratamentos farmacológicos para essas doenças são, também, realizados em modelos de camundongos (murinos). Aqui, nosso objetivo foi realizar uma revisão ampliada e esquemática sobre os resultados obtidos nos últimos anos sobre as respostas imunes desenvolvidas nos modelos murinos para a leishmaniose. Acreditamos que essa sistematização é importante no direcionamento de estudos e construção de conhecimentos futuros sobre a leishmaniose.
