It is gamma, not alpha, interferon which has been used in the leishmaniases.
You could start with "The role of interferon-gamma in the treatment of
visceral and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis" [published erratum appears in
J Infect Dis 1994 Jan;169(1):233] Badaro-R; Johnson-WD J-Infect-Dis. 1993
Mar; 167 Suppl 1: S13-7
