  "summary": "N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification in eukaryotic mRNA, yet its role in host responses to protozoan infection remains poorly explored. Here, we provide the first characterization of the host m6A epitranscriptome during Leishmania amazonensis infection, integrating clinical data, in vitro macrophage models, and direct RNA sequencing. Analysis of publicly available…",
