Seroprevalence of canine leishmaniosis in asymptomatic dogs in Kosovo

Parasitology Research, 2022
Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a neglected zoonotic disease caused by Leishmania spp. Leishmania infantum is the species responsible for the zoonotic form of the disease where dogs are reservoir hosts. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of CanL in asymptomatic dogs in Kosovo. Blood samples were collected from 285 dogs in all seven regions

Canine leishmaniosis: an update

The Veterinary Nurse, 2015
Canine leishmaniosis caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum has entered the UK. Entry appears linked to pet dogs accompanying their owners (on vacation) to the Mediterranean basin where this vector-borne canine disease is prevalent. The parasite resides in the superficial dermis of infected dogs, either within macrophages or free in host

Symptoms of Canine Leishmaniosis in Tunisian Dogs

Bulletin de la société de pathologie exotique, 2018
Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a fatal disease caused by Leishmania infantum which is a zoonotic protozoan transmitted to humans from dogs through sandflies. In Tunisia, there is a lack of knowledge on CanL risk and protective factors that limits the possibilities to design control strategies.

Questionnaire survey on Canine Leishmaniosis in southeastern Spain

Veterinary Parasitology, 2009
A veterinary practitioner's questionnaire survey on Canine Leishmaniosis (CanL) was carried out in southeast Spain to provide information on disease incidence, diagnosis and recommended preventive measures. A third of 101 responding veterinarians reported seeing more than 20 CanL cases during the previous year and clinical signs considered frequent or ...

Risk of transmission of canine leishmaniosis in eastern Spain

Veterinary Record, 2005
IN the Mediterranean area, human and canine visceral leishmaniosis is caused by the parasitic protozoan Leishmania infantum (Peters and Killick-Kendrick 1987). In Spain, 15 per cent or more of all dogs are seropositive in endemic areas (Molina and others 1994), and this is fairly typical of the situation in other countries of the Mediterranean basin ...

Managing the spread of canine leishmaniosis in Europe

Veterinary Record, 2017
CURRENTLY, there is a threat of canine leishmaniosis spreading to higher latitudes and elevations in Europe because of climate change (Ready 2017), so it is important to consider how best to manage and prevent this. In a paper summarised on p 47 in this issue of Veterinary Record , Lladro and others (2016) report on canine leishmaniosis in the Girona ...

Immunotherapy in clinical canine leishmaniosis: a comparative update

Research in Veterinary Science, 2019
Leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a complex infection that can affect both humans and dogs, and present a wide range of clinical signs and clinicopathological abnormalities. The conventional treatment of this disease is challenging due to the fact that complete parasitological cure commonly does not occur.

Serum ferritin and paraoxonase-1 in canine leishmaniosis

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2014
Ferritin and paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) were measured in dogs experimentally infected by Leishmania infantum (during experimental infection and following treatment) and also in naturally-infected dogs which presented different degrees of proteinuria. Experimentally-infected dogs were monitored for 7 months post-infection, then treated for 3 months with ...

Canine leishmaniosis - an emerging disease.

Annals of parasitology, 2015
Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is an invasive disease of dogs, caused by Leishmania spp. parasites transmitted by the bite of an infected phlebotomine sand fly. CanL is declared an important disease by World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). Due to its zoonotic potential is of a great importance the prevention of this disease in non endemic areas ...

Changes in saliva of dogs with canine leishmaniosis: A proteomic approach

Veterinary Parasitology, 2019
In the present study, a quantitative proteomic approach to study changes in saliva proteins associated with canine leishmaniosis (CanL) was performed. For this, canine salivary proteins were analysed and compared between dogs before (T0) and after (T1) experimental infection with Leishmania infantum by high-throughput label-based quantitative LC-MS/MS ...
