Current situation of Leishmania infantum infection in shelter dogs in northern Spain Guadalupe Miró, Rocío Checa, Ana Montoya, Leticia Hernández, Diana Dado, Rosa Gálvez Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:60 (27 March 2012) This article is part of a collection on 7th Symposium on Canine... The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of specific antibodies to L. infantum among stray dogs living in shelters in the north of Spain. This area has been considered a non-endemic area for canine leishmaniosis up to date. Image: The dogs included in the study live outdoors where they were exposed to the bites of hematophagous arthropods including phlebotomine sand flies.

The paper evaluates the prevalence of canine Leishmania infantum infection in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, China detected by PCR, ELISA and rk39-dipstick test. The phylogenetic tree based on the sequences of 116-bp fragment from the kDNA conserved region of Leishmania spp. has been constructed. Image: Dogs are major reservoir hosts of human zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL).
